It contains the statement right on the bottom that the certificate is prima facie proof of birth.

That just means that absent any challenge, it is acceptable as proof of birth. It shifts the burden of proof that the information on it isn't valid to the other party, but it is not conclusive proof.

I know, that is what "prima facie" means. Suspicion would not be enough to invalidate it.
