I wonder who else bought such special batteries, whether they were/are aware of that...

The battery wasn't actually for sale; they just created fake product pages for it so that if anyone looked up the part number, it wouldn't be immediately obvious that it was fake.
Supply chains aren't perfect. There is legitimacy to asking if any of the pagers or walkie talkies wound up elsewhere.
