Exactly which leads me to believe it was destroyed somehow before anyone could take advantage of it. Maybe it was Starfleet. Earth or Federation Starfleet.
Maybe the Borg assimilated it and that's how they learned to repair their ships. I remember their first appearance, the Cube repaired itself like in a film reverse.

I think that is how they did it in SFX where they melted the Borg grid thingies and filmed it reverse.

Could be a leftover piece of tech that came from a species that was assimilated by the Borg.

The station might be capable of independent movement. After dealing with a severely hostile ship and crew, perhaps the station repaired itself and then departed for another part of the galaxy, never to be seen by Earth forces again.

Well if it can repair ships like it was shown and rebuild itself from a cloud of debris than moving itself to a different part of the Galaxy is certainly possible.

Not only that but imagine that thing being capable of learning. It could take all the info it needs to repair a ship and then use it to upgrade itself.
