Go here and put your serial number in. It will tell you when your coverage expires. What does it say?

Apple has seals on the boxes on all the devices they sell. While it's not an absolute since they could be faked, if your Mac's box still had the tear-offs, it was probably new. The Battery Cycles figure probably came due to the testing all such devices go through when they come off the assembly line. As long as your Mac is working properly and the warranty date for your Mac is correct here:

then I'd say just don't stress about it.

youll need to update your warranty date based on your purchase date.
I will assume that Micro Center has a return policy of some sort.
If these things won't sit well with you, then it might be in your best interest to return the laptop to them for refund and then maybe buy directly from Apple or simply another retailer.
<< battery cycles = 3. >>
EVERY new MacBook Pro comes through with a small number of battery cycles, because it was tested. That's like getting a new car with 20 miles on it. That's what it took to test it and get it to you, and yours is just fine.
Hello~ I would second *D.I. Johnson’s* suggestion…take it back if you aren’t pleased. Take care.

there are also some black dots so idk , and it's my first purchase from micro center so idk if it's reputable
that's why I bought the MacBook from them, as it also was at good price
Apple corrected the limited warranty , thank you guys :)
How can I know if my new MacBook Pro is used or open box?
