Do not show the iMac manufacturing year and display size in the iMac overview. Only showing iMac, and other information. Can you tell me why? My iMac serial number is C0***N5V. I want to know the manufacturing year and size of the display. Thanks

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the ➙ About This Mac will give the year and model of your Mac. Then reboot normally and test again.
NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will assure a good boot into Safe Mode.
About this Mac..." from your Apple menu shows the info you want:
"Sub-model" show year and screen size. If the year has Early, Mid, or Late attached, those are important to finding out what older Macs can do for OS versions.
Note that I have redacted the serial number to prevent the Mods from removing the image.
NOTE: the above format only shows if the computer is running macOS 10.7 or higher. If you get this:
...we have more work to do.
Try updating to the latest version of MacOS Monterey 12.6 and see if the information appears.
FWIW, I saw the screen shot before it was removed. The "sub-model" info was missing.
How to find the manufacturing year and display size of my iMac?
