Deeply weird or not, this is standard make (or at least gnu make) syntax. I
wouldn’t be surprised if the developers thought it was completely normal.

My reading of the man page is that arguments are always passed, and @ just
means that the first “argument” (i.e. 1st token after the executable name) is
passed as argv[0] (which would normally the path of the executable itself).
But that’s entirely based on the man page, no actual experience.
