Small dents in the enclosure don't affect performance, in fact I received a new drive with one and it failed for unrelated reasons. Seagate honored the RMA even with the dent.

I'd check the s/n on seagate's site but it might be a white label drive (aka a OEM/rejected drive)

Western Digital Won’t Make SSDs Anymore in c/[email protected]

Ah yes, modern clickbait article titles.

They are just splitting WD and SanDisk to before WD bought them, so the ssds will have SanDisk stickers again. They were always made by SanDisk anyway
