That would be task id 3453163651 (name 18my13ae.32260.243600.438086664202.12.192.vlar_0), Work Unit 1459259096.

Is it normal ? I really think it has been running for much longer than that (I mean actual computing time).

I don't know what other tasks will do because it was my first task after a few years since my last task.

Sometimes the WU contains really naff data, so the task correctly bombs out, and you get very little credit (your early finish task got only 0.32 credits, compared with the norm of 20-30 for a MB task)
