No, you are not eligible for the program. You do not have the 2016 models specified in the program. What you posted is quite clear:

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports)

Note: No other Mac notebook models are part of this program.

Unfortunately, it's not likely that your's will be eligible. You have the 2017 model, not the 2016 model. However, you could try to enter your MacBook's serial number, but I assume that it's not going to be eligible.

Hope this helps!

If you have AppleCare, you may be able to replace it(assuming your coverage still exists). Of course, if your laptop is out of warranty, Apple is under no obligation to replace your device, as it is out of your warranty period. Sorry... however, you could research into repair programs/ purchasing a new one.
