Casual readers :
That 'ten days' is from the first column, you read it as:
YYMMDD::HHMMSS

= = = =

I was just browsing through the same report on my PW3 -
the report format is a bit different.
In addition to the calculated average capacity that PW2 report shows, the one on the PW3 also shows the actual 'aged' battery capacity.

IIRC - one is a three terminal battery and the other is a four terminal battery.
(But then I might be wrong - there are about 76 models of Kindles, I do get confused.)

= = = =

I just happen to have a short stack of KTs here, let me browse those, see what some 'really old' devices have to say for themselves.

KT - Wifi only - No ads - logs go back to 2012 (so this one must not have been used much).
Battery still holds 98% of label rating at full charge.

KT - Wifi+3G - ads - logs go back to 2016 (this one I was testing with leaving 3G on to check its ad retrieval during 'sleep') (it does).
This one is at about the same battery capacity as the PW-2 in question here.

KT - Wifi only, No ads
This one is at about 87% of label rating at full charge.

KT - Wifi+3G - No ads - this one had to go on the charger - all I have is the 'plug me in' picture right now.
Logs go back to 2013 - battery report shows it still has 98% of original capacity.

Does the PW-2 have 3G?
Was it ever a 'Demo' unit?
