Too good to be true. The climate has to be something like Venus, or worse

Nope. Further from the host star than Venus from Sol, and that star is far less luminous to begin with. (Source)
The amount of CO2 or any other plausible greenhouse gas you’d need to pump a place like that up to lead-melting temperatures means you’d need, what, two planets’ worth of available volatiles? You’d probably also need a seriously disturbed spin for that, like Venus does. I think we can safely start with the assumption that this place (if we can confirm it’s real) is pretty cold.
