Aaah!
Wondering about these things is a
good thing after all! Now, it seems that coconutbattery is reporting the age of my mac based on something
other than the actual machine age (i guess battery age lol), as i upgraded from my first MBPro to this one after a few months. The machine i had was only about three months old when i got this one, but i took my battery from the old one to the new one (long story involving getting the better machine but keeping my
used battery). So the serial number via Apple's website is giving me a date that is months ahead of what coconutbattery is reporting. Good to know that the site also keeps track of these things, otherwise should something go wrong i'd be in deep trouble.
At ease my mind is now!

For the record, the apple website date is the correct one for the machine purchase date, and the coconut date is approximately correct for the age of the currently installed battery. The website dates might differ depending on when the transaction was actually processed at a certain stage in their shopping cart process, versus the day you clicked on the 'mac-me-now' button
