See the ‘`’ character? That indicates that the following is a quoted
list (except that the part prefixed with ‘,’ is not quoted. Anyway,
that is a list whose first element is the symbol 'menu-item, and that
list is passed to ‘global-set-key’.
So you want to go look what ‘global-set-key’ does with that. You might
know, or learn from the source, that ‘global-set-key’ is a wrapper
function around ‘define-key’. Then, C-h f define-key tells you its
last argument can take a number of forms, none of which seem to match
a list '(menu-item …), except possibly this:
DEF is anything that can be a key’s definition:
[…]
or an extended menu item definition.
(See info node ‘(elisp)Extended Menu Items’.)
So you dive into that info node, and sure enough, it explains that an
extended menu item is a list starting with 'menu-item.
