I thought it had 28 pages and no staple holes

Correct. It's an official 24 page facsimile (the missing 4 pages are because apart from being an easy way to tell a replica from an original, it's apparently technically inconvenient to add the extra sheet!) and the original was of course glued rather than stapled.
Re: original Beano no1comic
Paper quality looks superior to the original too - the original wouldn't have that shine at the top and would probably be yellowed (as is evident even on 1980s issues - 1988 was when they started using different paper instead of newsprint).

The listing has now been removed. I doubt it would have fooled anyone though. So obviously a facsimile.
