To the paragraph 'Clock: Actual period 12.5us, frequency 80kHz.' with the paragraph format 'Default ...' you have assigned level 2 and that is why it appears in the table of contents.

There is a chapter 15 in the LibreOffice guide dedicated to tables of contents and indexes.

The discussion forum ask.libreoffice.org has many posts on this topic.

You're right - no idea how that paragraph was formatted thus.

The fact its hard to see in UI is precisely why there are so many discussions about this!

Thanks!

You can see a lot in the sidebar with the 'Style inspector', for me the third button from the bottom.
