Is this website really still considered being a beta?

Site statistics as of this date indicate that we have:
The site has been stable throughout its life and, as I interpret StackExchange policy, successful. The only major difference between a Beta site and a graduated site I have found is that moderators are selected by StackExchange instead of community elections. I was recently selected as a moderator, I suspect partially because I volunteered myself, to give something back to the site I had enjoyed and learned from for years, when StackExchange asked for nominations (I was also the sole candidate at that time). Moderator duties are very light and the community members mostly manage things without the need for interventions.
I am not aware of any other significant differences other that the word "Beta" in the site title. Other respondents may have noticed other differences (?)
