This is not true. Stockfish is not unbeatable by another engine, or another copy of Stockfish.

Chess engines have been impossible for humans to beat for well over a decade.

But a position in chess being solved is a specific thing, which is still very far from having happened for the starting position. Chess has been solved up to 7 pieces. Solving basically amounts to some absolutely massive tables that have every variation accounted for, so that you know whether a given position will end in a draw, black win or white win.
