87 W type c adapter

I bought a 87W type c adapter for my MacBook Pro 15'. I looks to me like it's fake because even when the charger is not connected, it shows charging under AC Charger information.

Not only that, the part which says family is missing and a lot of other information is shown which we typically don't see while using a genuine adapter.

I'm attaching a screenshot of it. Let me know your opinion.

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

If you have any doubts, then you should return the power adapter and purchase a genuine power adapter either directly from Apple or a vendor/store you trust. The safest option is to purchase directly from Apple or an Apple partner.
