Im not sure if this is an actual issue. I did buy this MacBook Pro used, and i keep on wondering why isnt it showing its Made year? Far as i have noticed, all other Mac’s show that they have been made Early/Mid/Late ???? Why isnt my MBP showing it?

If it is a custom order machine, it will not show the “year” information. Only standard off-the-shelf machines show that information, just another Apple quirk.
The new version of Coconut battery has an option to tell you the date of manufactory of your laptop. Download it here, run it and let us know what it says: http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutba… Apples serial number check site shows this as an invalid serial number: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWar…
I think your serial number is not correct, did someone alter it? Is the systems physical serial number match your About This Mac serial number? I looked up your S/N you have in the picture you posted it doesn’t come up with EveryMac it should report the model you have. The model by the description is this one: MacBook Pro 15" i5 2.4 MHz Mid-2010. Is that what you have when you lookup the systems S/N if it’s different. Update Ok, let’s try this: See if the firmware updater will acknowledge the firmware on your system. Here’s the Apple TN on how EFI and SMC firmware updates for Intel-based Macs
If you just upgraded yours OS, just connect to internet and click on the apple logo, it will come up automatically
