I mostly think it shows how dumb Sephiroth is. It took him 30+ years to figure out who his mom was? He didn't question it at all until seeing a sign on a door? He's never read a book before? He has the backstory of a typical 14 year old protagonist who goes on to save the world, but because he only discovered this during his mid-life crisis, he became a villain.

Is the whole thesis of FF7 that ignorant middle aged men are the most dangerous people?

Where else would he have learned about Jenova, considering everyone he knew who would know lied to him about it and all the files on the experiment only exist in the Shinra manor (maybe Gast or Hojo had more, but again they were lying to him)
