Just bought a laptop with Mint, shows errors on startup (lemmy.world)

So I just bought this refurbished laptop with Mint pre-installed, and it's showing these error messages when booting. Boots just fine afterwards and seems to work normally. Is this normal? Should I get my money back, or should I do a fresh install?

(Yes I know Ubuntu is not Mint, but BIOS is BIOS)

Basically just ignore it. If it really bothers you try updating your BIOS, but that could break something else.
