But the distress signal was a hoax. So this may prove the ship is not Daedalus class, even though we've determined it's probably not. So, unless Starfleet was pulling out 100+ year old ships, it's probably a Constitution or freighter or something.

I think it was said in the Encyclopedia that it was one.

The ship was pictured as Daedalus class in the Encyclopedia, but many people (myself included) believe this is just another 'pedia error, as the Daedalus class was withdrawn from service (i.e. active duty) decades before.

But hasn't the registry also been conjectured and generally accepted as something within the Daedalus family?
If this is true, then it further bolsters my theory that up until a certain point, ship registry's were reused for ships with the same name. Thus you can have a contemporary of the NCC-1701 that has a three digit number.

Yes, it's from the Encyclopedia. The ship list says "NCC-160", but the diagram under the regular entry for the ship says "NCC-235".

Frankly, we don't know if the call from the USS Carolina is a hoax. Lt. Cmdr. Scott didn't check the veracity of the calls (there were two) and had his decision recorded in the log.
The distress call from the SS Dierdre is confirmed to be a hoax.
The class and registry of the USS Carolina are unknown. I am dismayed by the class and registry of this ship in the second issue of the encyclopedia. I thought Mr. Okuda would either list the ship as a Connie or as another new class.

If that ship was listed as a Constitution, then we would have to figure out why it has a very low registry number. Maybe it's one of the older ships we may see in Star Trek: Enterprise...wait I'm kidding myself...

I know you're post was tongue in cheek, but this needs to be said:
The registry number was made up for the encyclopedia, exactly the same way that the designation as Daedalus class was made up.
The, impossible, Daedalus class thing was dropped from later editions, so if a new class is assigned so can a new registry be assigned. It's not as if the ship was ever given an on screen class or registry that has to be stuck with.
