There is only one binding. M-! is bound to the command "shell-command".
M-1 and C-u supply prefix arguments. M-1 supplies the numerical
agument "1" to the command, while "C-u" supplies the "universal
argument". It just happens that all non-nil arguments have the same
result for this funtion, so for example M-0 would also work.

Here is the info node about prefix arguments:
