Long story short:

I just plugged it in the PC and its working again. It also says it has 100 % charge... So should I be worried?

Okay one time in hibernation and back told the real charge of 15 %...
I think the only thing to worry about is that the battery might be dying. A two year old Li-Ion battery should still be good, but I would expect reduced capacity. How much depends the usage and conditions it is kept in. Hot conditions, and the battery will die quicker. Cool conditions will keep it going longer.

At this point, I would suggest trying to cycle the battery a couple of times. That should recalibrate the power meter and hopefully show how much capacity it is keeping.
