Have you tried resetting the battery with the procedures that you mention?
It needs a new battery if you are worried about the capacity. They say it takes 1000 cycles for 80% of the battery to be used up. Reseting it won't change the fact that is a battery with over 500 cycles

My wife's has 287 battery cycle and it has the same "service battery" message.
It's not always about replacing the battery. Sometimes it's just a disconnect between software and hardware.
584 cycles is not a lot for a Mac and still has a lot to go to a 1000.
If the OP can clear the message, then it's definitely worth considering.
Hence my original question.
