there is nothing wrong, it's there so you can download a copy at anytime

I downloaded a copy and created a USB thumb drive version which i put safely in a draw in case I need to reinstall at a later date

Take the opportunity to download it and create a USB bootable copy of Lion - way better than internet recovery IMHO
