It seems to be alright. All batteries lose capacity as they age and are re-charged multiple times.

That depends on how you were using your phone for those 4 hours 58 minutes. How were you using your phone?
The battery is fine. After hitting about 400-450 full cycles, your max charge drops to 80% of the designed capacity, which is still great and shouldn't really affect your routine as much as you would think on paper. But again, batteries eventually die out and such, that much is inevitable, but your battery should probably last another year and a half or two at the very least because the capacity becomes unbearably low.
My first 4, I had the battery replaced after about 600 cycles or so when the bit of battery life difference at that point was basically the difference between having to worry about my charge mid day and not since I went ham on my phone back then.

The battery drain is unique to a device. My old 4S prior to a warranty replacement had insane battery life. The replacement one drained from the start, netting me about 2% per hour give or take on standby. Ultimately in terms of usage, if you can get a total of say an hour or so of web surfing/internet/game use alongside with about 3-4 hours of music, your battery is in pretty good shape around the 1100-1200 mAh capacity. Then again, you'll have other factors as well such as reception/signal strength while in standby or in use and such that also plays a role, so you really can't get a definitive "this is good" or "this is bad", unless we're talking about 30 minutes of use and your battery goes from 100 to zilch
