The smaller, black screenshots are from iStat. There is a dashboard widget you can download for free. iStat also has a menu based option, but I think you have to buy that.

The larger, gray screenshots are from CoconutBattery, a program you can download and run.

that battery is very unhealthy. do you have a battery new enough that it's supposed to retain 80% health for 1000 cycles?
94% with 49 cycles. I'd say that's doable. I can probably get it up by draining the battery quite a few times till 0%. 
No, I don't have another battery. My current battery has been this way for about a year now. When fully charged and unplugged, my Mac will shut down when the battery drops to 70%. I don't really want to buy a new charger so I just leave my Mac plugged in 24/7.
Sits on a dock as a desktop most of the time. Bad thing is, good for 9 months, but it's only 6 months old.
Third Battery for my '07 Macbook. The older ones got swollen, no free replacement. The 1st battery was messing up my trackpad and was swollen; the 2nd battery still holds a very good charge but it was swollen and making my macbook wobble and I could see the interior part of the battery from the outside.
Here is the 3rd battery ~1month ago, bought on eBay for $47; Original Apple from batch from '07 but had w/ 0 cycles. Yes, it has been calibrated a few times and still has higher capacity (tends to be ~100 to 102, today was higher w/ 103%).

There might be something wrong with my battery?
Age: 7 Months
Battery loadcycles: 296
Current capacity: 6644 (96%)
Design capacity: 6900
Compared to most of the cycles in this thread, my macbook pro has way to much load cycles. Is this a problem?
