It's an OEM key. It should function after reinstalling on the same system, though it may become tied to that specific hardware ID.

Cmd + Slmgr –dli indicates the system is in RETAIL mode.

Sure, it looks like you should be all set for a few system adjustments. The details likely came from an OEM resale source, possibly copied and pasted. Often you receive a retail key, but it’s actually an OEM key that’s no longer available. It seems you’ve landed on a retail key now.
