This is not something to be worried about.  All backends have their own
version, independent of the sane-backends version.  The epson2 backend
for example is at 1.0.124!

The scanimage utility gets it version directly from sane-backends, hence
1.0.27git for a development version after 1.0.27.

Some backends, and probably third party ones in particular, use the
version of the sane-backend's release that they were built against.

Hope this clarifies,
