That flag is set in the card's internal controller and is not visible from outside.

Is having the serial number on the new image important? I only ever use Calibre for loading books, and I don't get my books from the Kobo site, so syncing isn't something I do except when setting up a new e-reader.

The serial number isn't used for much unless you are part of Kobo's beta program. Some people want it just to keep their ereader as close to factory as possible. OTOH, the VCOM and waveform tables are also present in that area and some people have reported issues though more often after changing a screen.
