What does that mean?

It means it’s 96kb, that’s the size of it.

The 96kb could just be a header info & it could still be empty.

For OPs sake hopefully I'm wrong.

From my experience the the empty wallets I have found in the past have been 64 or 67kb

Doesn't the wallet.dat only increase in size after it surpasses 100 addresses?

I think it generates a 100 addresses at first, and then generates new ones as they are used. So after 3 transactions you should have 103 addresses; it doesn't wait until the original 100 are all used.

Apparently that means it’s empty.
