Depends on your monitor and video card really, you could end up with
black bars on the sides, or the screen stretched, or the image centered
in the middle - all depends on what the manufacturer implemented.

The real point is, with simple graphics like this series has, even
Integrated Intel Graphics could display that in full widescreen
resolutions without much issue since it's neither 3d nor real time.

I can only assume that the guy(s) behind it used an engine they did not
develop, and that engine was made back when low res 4:3 was the
standard.
