Previous owner didn't log out of "find my iphone", can she lock me out?

I bought an old Macbook pro (early 2010, High Sierra).

The previous owner didn't log out, so I reset it and reinstalled Mac OS then logged in with my icloud.

Can the previous owner lock me out through "find my iphone/mac"?

The mac comes up on my icloud account on find my iphone, but can it show up on hers too and she can lock it?

I sold a mac ages ago and it still shows up with these options on my icloud because I forgot to remove it.

I believe it would be tied to the operating system. You should be fine if the original drive was erased.

I though the only issue would be firmware lock.
