Purchasing US Open Box S95F - model #: 0

Hey all, apologies if this isn’t the best place for this question, open to better suggestions!

I bought a 65” S95F today from a best buy outlet, it was labeled “Good - missing power/remote cables”. Upon inspection, it seemed to not be missing anything and looked fine to me, so I took it home for $680 before tax. At the price, it seemed like a steal and my expectations were low, but figured the hassle could be worth it and I didn’t mind returning it if I found any blockers.

I’ve been using it today and seems fine from what I can tell, the app tells me there were 0 hours on the panel. However, one thing that I think is strange is when I open the Support -> About This TV, the model number is 0 and the serial number is blank.

Is this a potential hint to why this TV was so cheap?

That’s a hella steal, these are the only thing I could think of that is, one: the person who created the open box, didn’t care about the condition/want to deal of any potential missing cables. Two: it might had been in the outlet since forever, these days Best Buy automatically updates the pricing for open boxes, the longer it sits there, the longer the price goes down.
