How bad is "ineligible for rehire" in background check?

At one of the companies I worked for, I didn't have the best relationship with my manager. This manager gave me a below average performance review rating ("meet most expectations") while before I reorg'd to their team, I always got "exceed expectations" (at the same company). A couple of months after that performance review, I found another job and resigned. I was never put on PIP or anything. And nothing more dramatic happened.

Recently, I accepted an offer and am going through background check, including an employment history check. I'm not sure if this company marked me as "ineligible for rehire" because of what happened or whether the background check company will ask about eligibility for rehire. But I would like to understand, if they did and it came up during the background check, how bad would it look? Is it bad enough that my new employer will rescind the offer? TIA!
