The doc strings says more than that.  It also says:

  If ‘electric-indent-mode’ is enabled, this indents the final new line
  that it adds, and reindents the preceding line.  To just insert
  a newline, use M-x electric-indent-just-newline.

And if you evaluate electric-indent-mode, you will see that it is
enabled in your case.
