I'm still within distance selling rights to return without reason. I didn't know Nords can suffer this issue. I find it hugely dsitracting. I've gone to sit on the other side of the room to read or something and I can hear it. My intention was for an instrument for my quiet, gentle home which I go to great lengths to keep peaceful. I use open-back headphones too and I can even hear it when wearing those! I've plenty of other music gear and none of that hums.
Ho-hum. Disappointed
Hard to say if you'd get a unit without the transformer buzz, its possible, but not guaranteed. All of the OLED displays however make some audible noise.
I don't know if what your hearing is the transformer or the OLED display, so its really hard to make any specific recommendation. On the off chance that there was actually physical shock damage to the unit (you did indicate the box was damaged), I think I'd be inclined to return the keyboard and take a chance on a 2nd unit.
