"Unserviceable" in this case doesn't mean the missile systems aren't working, but that future maintenance is going to be a problem because Bulgaria doesn't have the technicians and supplies to keep them in working order up to military standards.
So yes, Ukraine would be getting functional S-300 systems.
The equivalent of milk the day of expiry. Sure, it can be used now, but if you aren't gonna use it up today, you don't want it hanging around. Ukrainian neighbor is making a fine victory cake today, though, so why not give it to them?
