That’s the number one clue that the battery was replaced by someone other than Apple: No battery Health info. It doesn’t mean the battery is bad or won’t last long, you just lose the battery Health data (which actually isn’t very important)
 
I know I got a non OEM battery put into a first gen SE and it said service as well but it was brand new and worked fine. I believe non Apple batteries will not show battery health. That being said I also knew the battery for me was new unlike your situation.
