How would a programming book have that kind of mistakes? Do they manually type the code, and output separately?

Any semi-competent programmer will copy paste the code to the terminal and copy the output.

And any competent programmer will make sure the output is auto generated from the code so there's no mistakes.

People write books. People are imperfect. People write imperfect books. It's not hard to copy / pasta the wrong notes when assembling the bones of a book.
