MacOS reads this address to identify the hardware.
This is a basic implementation returning the ID of Quadra 800.
Details:

"There are 3 ID schemes [...]
The third and most scalable is a machine ID register at 0x5ffffffc.
The top word must be 0xa55a to be valid. Then bits 15-11 are 0 for
consumer Macs, 1 for portables, 2 for high-end 68k, and 3 for high-end
PowerPC. Bit 10 is 1 if additional ID bits appear elsewhere (e.g. in VIA1).
The rest of the bits are a per-model identifier.
Model Lower 16 bits of ID

Quadra/Centris 610/650/800 0x2BAD"
