Why would there be a heat shrink tube over one pin of a right angle pin header?

And what kind of boring job was that??

High Voltage pin?

That was what I was thinking too, but the ground plane (what I assume to be the ground plane) is quite close to the pad of that pin. Closer than the pin to the other pins. So yeah who had that boring job and why did they pay for it :-//

Looks like a futile attempt to solve a creepage / clearance problem.

to reduce the risk of the hardware going through the mounting hole touching that pin? looks like the other two pins close to the hole and the hole are ground
