This most likely means that the Mini was originally purchased from a third party not associated with Apple. Without the proper purchase information on file, Apple will resort to the manufacture date of the computer to determine warranty or other special coverage although this could vary by region. You could ask the seller to provide Apple his original proof of purchase so Apple has the correct information on file.
It is always risky purchasing used items from strangers. Many times you are buying their problems.
Edit: If you live in a region where counterfeit or stolen items are a problem, then I would not purchase it. I've seen reports of Apple denying coverage in certain regions if the proper paperwork for proof of ownership is not on file.
