Yours has lost 13% of it's maximum charge in only 200 cycles. If it is a replaceable than that is not too bad, if it is a non replaceable that is bad, imo.

Depends what type of Macbook/Pro you have. I quoted the thresholds for replacement for the Removable battery Macbooks/Pros.

Battery Lifespan
For Apple notebooks with removable batteries — such as previous generation MacBook and MacBook Pro computers — a properly maintained battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 300 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.

The built-in battery of the MacBook Air is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at up to 750 full charge and discharge cycles.

The built-in battery in the new 13-, 15-, and 17-inch MacBook Pro is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at up to 1000 full charge and discharge cycles.

If your notebook came with a built-in battery, you should have the battery replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

So for built-ins if you drop below 80% within 1000 cycles, it is "faulty"/"replaceable"
