If a channel has less than 1,000 subscribers, it’s not monetized because channels need to have 1,000 subscribers to apply for the YouTube Partner Program. The only case if this could happen is if the channel had enough subscribers to apply and then lost some of them so now it is below 1,000.

Seeing ads on a video or seeing that monetization is enabled doesn’t mean that the video is monetized by the channel’s owner.
