And if he’s not lying, then does the fact that the book hasn’t lost its charge for such a long time mean that the battery’s health should be ok?

I've got a couple T2s and the batteries are good in them. So I have no trouble believing the battery is still good. That said, I do have trouble believing the charge would stay the same for four years without charging. I think, at the very least, I would ask him to fully charge the T2 it to see how it reacts.
If you want another T2 and this one is in as good of shape as the seller says, it might be worth it to you, whether the battery is good or not (replacement T2 batteries are not hard to find and are not expensive, at least not in the U.S.).
As for $45, that would have been expensive for a T2 a few years back, but they're beginning to pass into the "rarer" stage now and prices are getting higher.
Good luck whichever way you go.
