I am not an engineer. I don't really know how this type of thing works. However, I have heard of scuba cylinders being condemned during a new inspection because of issues with their threads. How did this thread "damage" happen, I wonder?

Probably someone mistaking tap marks for cracks. But manufacturing issues happen too. I would certainly check out the internals on a new (or new to me) cylinder of any size.

That isn't damage, It is a manufacturing defect UE is not applicable for that. It is only allowed on retest and there are several rules about what cylinders allow it.
