Just received 3 recertified drives, how can one have an impossible number of power on hours? (zerobytes.monster)

I've had 3 recertified Seagate drives, two were manufactured in 2021 and had around 30k power on hours, but the third has a DOM of Dec 23 but also has ~30k power on hours?

Is there a logical reason for this that I'm missing? 33k hours is circa 4 years, only 9 power on cycles but still - a chance the sticker on the front of the drive isn't legit?

I'm not necessarily worried about them, they seem good from the testing I've done so far, more curious than anything
