From the research that I did, though, Nougat (Android 7) was released in August 2016; Oreo (Android 8) was released in August 2017. So, then, if you "just got it (the phone)," why wouldn't it have to be an Android 8?

But I wondered this--maybe those dates above were the dates when the versions were first released, and that for a while, both versions co-existed? In other words, there was an overlap when both Nougat phones and Oreo phones were sold? So, you could (for whatever reason) get/have gotten a Nougat phone long after Oreo's release?
The two things are somewhat unrelated. When Google releases an operating system is usually far ahead of when phone manufacturers actually start using the new OS version. Majority of phones currently shipping probably don't even have Oreo yet. I reckon a number of phones have likely just gotten an update to Nougat recently (if they're even updated at all).
