So I bought a rx 580. View: https://imgur.com/a/JbBoQse

I googled whats on it (axrx 580 8gbd5-dm) and it shows me a powercolor mining edition which looks the same as mine. (With only dvi)
But on the gpuz program it says subvendor is msi View: https://imgur.com/a/L0TmzZA

Could it be because msi bios was flashed in it?
Also the gpu max uses 75w and performs the same fps and score as it is shown in the furmark website. Is that a good or a bad thing? Should I switch bios on it or leave it as is? If I should switch which bios should I switch to? I couldnt find one that is the same as mine.

You don't buy used GPU's from that era and to add you've found that it's a minig card, meaning it was subjected to immense stres, then when the mining craze died down or when mining farms were being raided by the police, the blokes there flashed the GPU VBIOS to something else and sold it off as a gaming GPU.

If I were you, I'd return the GPU and pick something up brand new and something that comes with warranty.

If the GPU can't be returned, I'd leave it as is and work with it till it conks out.
