And yet it still came up as the first search result. It takes some serious mental gymnastics to think this is normal or ok.
It's not "ok", it's an obvious mistake. I only emphasize the context because people are acting like, even if this was intentional, that it has any effect.

Sure, here is one of my guesses, though the site is actually pretty complicated, so this is a very simplistic reason as an example. Assuming they use a static site generator. Each Article is it's own WYSIWYG. They have a special document format that allows for inline notation of annotations. Someone was editing the doument to update an annotation, they left out a closing bracket and the SSG just decides to not render invalid annotations, so everything after the missed closed bracket was assumed to be bad data.
