Then I assume that it has been used before, at least wound up one time, which broke it.
The strange mechanism could simply be a cheap mechanism. Sono Kong beys are always quite crappy, at least if you´re going to use them. Like Neo said, use Takara or Hasbro, then you have reliable parts to use. A German proverb says: "Cheap things are bought twice". Guess that´s right for beyblades as well.
Edit: About your edit: SK WD´s are shiny sometimes. I have a few SK beys, which I assembled myself (so definitely no fakes), and those have shiny WD´s as well. Like my Draciel S.
