I'm not sure those tuners are original unless it's a really early one. It says in the description that it weighs 8lbs 12oz, which, if true, would be very heavy indeed for an SG.
My concern would be not that the neck itself has broken, but that the glue joins between the neck and the body, and the fingerboard and the neck near the nut, have either been weakened and possibly cracked. Unfortunately it's very difficult to be sure without either deliberately flexing it to see if there's any movement - which if there is a crack, could cause more damage - or stripping the finish to have a look directly.
Is it substantially cheaper than you would expect one to be without that?
The comment written on the hang tag is quite interesting too...!

As ever with Gibson, the serials are a bit all over the parish, but I understand that this is probably a 1999 guitar.

In which case, nitro lacquer cracking could easily be present without there being any structural issues.
I would await more expert input, it will be along
