Battery reporting way more than designed watt hours

I've replaced a battery using one sent by iFixit. It works as expected except for one very strange issue that I assume is to do with calibration.
As you can see on the attached, the battery reports to the system that it has way more than its actual capacity. Like, way more. The design capacity is 53.6 watt hours, not 736.62.

I have attempted to calibrate the battery multiple times. When I first installed it, I charged it to full plus two hours, used it until it auto-hibernated, charged it to full plus two hours again, and then used it until it auto-hibernated again. I then used it as normal.
Within a few days, it started reporting larger and larger capacities. It seems to increase every time it sleeps. Yesterday, before I let it sleep, it said ~180 watt hours. What's going on?
