Is the below output normal? I expected some statistics regarding how my memory was performing.

Wyse V90L thin client with VIA Eden 800 MHz CPU, 1 GB DDR2 SODIMM at 533 MHz running antiX 16.2.

sysbench 0.4.12 is more than 10 years old. And yes, there were issues with the memory test with old versions. You want to install a recent version: https://github.com/akopytov/sysbench#installing-from-binary-packages
