The eight digits 35008564 identify a Apple iPhone 17. A phone whose IMEI starts with them is that model, whatever the seller wrote in the listing — the TAC is the manufacturer’s own allocation, not a lookup table someone typed by hand.

Three things decide whether a device is worth buying, and none of them is in the TAC: whether it is carrier locked, whether it is blacklisted, and whether iCloud or MDM is on. Those are separate records against the full IMEI, and each costs a few cents to read.
