Yes, that was the 2012 version.
In NL all members of the Dutch Big Ben computer Club got a Pi Model B
the 2013 512 MB i.e. second version for the 30th anniversaty of their
existance/jubilee.
Many liked that nice idea of a computer club giving all their members a
new computer ;-).

So you also have good luck, not only bad.
On average you may not complain, I think ;-).
My second Pi 1B from the same year 2013 is now running !RosBink for FidoNet
since October 2018 without a case 24/7 now on his second microSDcard.

Henri.
