the manual still implies it is 200  but it doesn't really matter
as it was a spurious value before and it'll be gone next time
(0.)80 is the luatex version number

the manual says:


The pdfTEX related primitives will be removed from versions after
0.80. All the version related details
are available in the status table at the Lua end, for instance one can say:
\let\pdftexbanner \luatexbanner
\let\pdftexversion \luatexversion
\let\pdftexrevision\luatexrevision
if these are really needed in a macro package.
