Can someone please verify is this happening on real hardware?

Thank you!

In SURVIVAL MODE*, advancing to the next round with a partially depleted life bar causes the opponent’s life bar to mirror yours, displaying the same amount of remaining life. Glitched “0 0 0 0” characters also appear in the empty portion of the bar. The opponent’s life bar returns to normal after taking damage.

The bug also occurs in MAME. Unfortunately, I am unable to verify whether it occurs on original hardware.

*SURVIVAL MODE is available only after the blue title-screen background has been unlocked. It can reportedly be unlocked by leaving the game running for a few weeks (the exact duration is unknown), entering a secret code in the service menu, or editing the NVRAM/EEPROM file by changing the value at offset 0x74 from 00 to 04.

To start the game in SURVIVAL MODE, hold all three punch buttons at the title screen and press Start.
