Is this some fucked up Frankenstein's monster of both ports or is it just saying its a Display Port that can use a converter without having the proprietary parts get in the way

HDMI and DisplayPort are the same! That's how it was on my old laptop!

I've seen one of these before! It was on an older, tiny SFFPC I snagged from work a long while back. I didn't even know it was a thing but apparently it is
