I have understood that as a button, hyperlink to source, like

ignore is an interactive byte-compiled Lisp function in ‘subr.el’.

whereby ‘subr.el’ would be the button to the source, and if it can't
be found in the file, then temporary buffer may be displayed to tell
what or how function is defined, like by using `symbol-function'
function.
