The aircraft had the QRC cards installed and no placard indicating that the 'Undue Activation of Alpha Prot Procedure Required' installed indicating that SEL 28 had been accomplished. There was no SEL 28 on the flight plan. I contacted Maintenance Control and was initially told there was no SEL 28 for that aircraft and to contact local Maintenance to get the old QRC cards. Local ZZZ Maintenance came out and said that the AD had been done. A second call to Maintenance Control and a connection to Engineering conference call was initiated. The local ZZZ mechanics were able to determine that the ELACS were in fact the modified ELACS and that an SEL for that aircraft should have been issued. We added Dispatch into the conference call and with their concurrence an amendment to the flight plan was issued.According to Maintenance Engineering after the AD was complete a call to Flight Operations was supposed to be made but apparently never was.
Captain reported poor documentation that led to a confusing conversation with Maintenance and trying to find out if the aircraft was airworthy.
