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

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

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

*Leo got it right the first time*
*then he added a second pickup and got it righter*

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.
