Is it time to replace my battery?

I have a 17" Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 6,1. A couple of months ago I substituted the optical drive with a 1TB SSHD; dual drive upgrade. I remember reading somewhere this upgrade can do wacky things to your battery, drain the battery , decrease its performance. Well, now I am getting a "Service Battery" message.

Also, is my cycle count "correct"? Shouldn't my cycle count be a lot higher, in order to replace the battery? Never replaced the batttery before. Is it just time for a new battery? What model number battery should I order, do I just specify Mid 2010?


Here are my specs:
