To the best of my knowledge this is normal and no reason to worry
about. The owner info I think lives in the flash memory and isn't
erased by removing all power. Otherwise it would be easy to get rid of,
for example, a PIN you set.
It is, by the way, not always sufficient to leave the 130 without
power for only 15 minutes. Better make that a day to be on the safe
side.
