That looks like an over wing exit sized blowout. When Boeing stretched the plane, did that exit migrate aft naturally, and they simply plugged it somehow? It's too perfect.

It's an extra exit for regulatory compliance if you opt for the high density configuration. They all ship with it, but they're not always utilized.
