The satellite vanishes between penumbra and umbra borders. These are results from the used satellite library code that classifies into "visible"/"hidden" and not much more. We are talking about a few seconds. The "shadow in ...km altitude" code necessarily leaves out ellipsoidal effects, while the altitude of the satellite is above the WGS84 ellipsoid. It should still provide a rough idea. It's good enough for me to not throw away the function. But it will never be good enough for some other users. At this point you are again cordially invited to get involved, reverse engineer the code, fix what you find broken, and propose your solution.
