Good questions! I can't answer all of them, but you might want to download and install Coconut Battery and see what it says in terms of cycle count (consider it an impartial 3rd party opinion, if you will):

I'd have to guess that the 732 count is not correct, especially if it seems to be a good battery. Most batteries do not reach anywhere near that number, and are completely dead far in advance of 500, let alone 732. Also, I've encountered many batteries with various messed up numbers, and they were not necessarily bad batteries, so it's possible that despite the fact that it thinks it has 732 and it is obviously confused, it might still be somewhat of a good battery, with a lower actual count than that.
