Adrenalin software says laptop display supports Freesync despite it not being advertised and not working with VRRTest

Talk about AMD's FreeSync and VESA AdaptiveSync, which are variable refresh rate technologies. They also eliminate stutters, and eliminate tearing. List of FreeSync Monitors.

Adrenalin software says laptop display supports Freesync despite it not being advertised and not working with VRRTest

I bought a Lenovo Yoga 7 2in1 that has a Ryzen 7 8840HS with 780M graphics. It did not advertise Freesync support, but the Adrenalin control panel detects it for some reason. Here's a pic: https://imgur.com/a/kV6ppv4. I've tried both the VRRtest program and the Nvidia Pendulum demo and neither seem to work properly with a fluctuating frame rate.

The weird thing is that if I disable it, then Retroarch does not want to vsync properly, even with G-sync support disabled in its own options. I use the 240p test suite to test how well Vsync is working in different cores. I haven't tested any other applications yet. Does enabling the setting do something for displays that don't actually support the option?
