It probably means your Windows is OEM, but some parts of your laptop might have been swapped out or upgraded. It might have a mix of OEM and aftermarket parts.

Is there a way to buy a Windows 7 SP1 Ultimat 64bit activation key??
I found on some sites that provide free activation keys for Windows 7 without downloading programs. They only provide the activation serial number؟!
Is there a risk in using these keys? I mean, can my computer be hacked? Thank you

Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 7 in January 2020, so not really. If you're buying it from anywhere, it's probably stolen. (you can't really get hacked from a key but you might get a dud key)
