Did you buy this new or as a refurb? If you bought it as a refurb, Apple assigns new serial numbers during the refurb process, which would explain why you're seeing a recent manufacture date.

Oh nice then! So in Finland you get three years total under Applecare for iPhones? Here in the US it's only 2 years total.

I wouldn’t mind if they kept making new iPhone 7’s until 2025 honestly. It is definitely my favorite iPhone model. I have the new SE, iPhone XS and 11 right now, but I have a 7 I use at times as well.

They are continuing to sell them through some discount carriers. They also continued to manufacture the 6 (a 32 GB version no less) and the 6s long after they stopped selling them in Apple Stores.
Yes. I got a new iPhone 7 Plus earlier this year, and it came with iOS13 out of the box.
It's discontinued in major markets, but it's still being available in other markets. In my country, a brand new 6s was still available officially last year.
Also, since the iPhone 7 has not entered vintage status, Apple would still need new units available for replacements.

I have the 7 Plus. So far I'm happy with it, although my primary driver is still an Android.

Don't they manufacture all Iphones for up to five years from the launch year? They may shift production around (say from China to India), but they keep the assembly lines going for a long time. As someone posted earlier, they need replacements and sell through low-cost retailers.
