I really don't know what you mean by that, it was released 2015 so 6 or 7 years ago depending on month and day, but I got it on may 9th on eBay brand new.

What that means is that you have a device that's been sitting in a box for 6 or 7 years. That will damage a lithium-ion battery. Under those circumstances, what you're seeing is not unexpected.
