The internal temperature decreases from 830°C (1,530°F) at the center to 170°C (340°F) near the surface.

No idea, and not sure how anyone could know that. Maybe some estimates from heat transfer models and such. The moon is geologically inactive so much of the original heat is gone now. No longer any subsurface molten rock.
