Google does a fairly good if amusing job of translating the french.

Is it the photo or does that top looked really bowed?

Probably the lid is a bit bowed but digital cameras often do that as well

The odder part is that it's posted on the Dutch eBay site...
Nice shots of the machine with the keyboard out of the way.
The top is probably bowed - the top on my M2 is slightlybowed - I suspect that shrinkage of the formica at a greater rate that the plywood pulls the plywood into the bowed position. Wish there was something to 'relax' it, but I hesitate to experiment.

Formica doesn't shrink. More likely, the plywood underneath absorbed moisture unevenly with the exposed ply layer absorbing the most.
