A good place to start is looking at the blame to find the commit that 
introduced it. Which was:

https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/17ab123cf1f0597e7e257c1ce83a6e87b85ffd7b#diff-71666751dc5821f7fc30e9c8138019c9

and if we browse to the state of the file before that commit we see:

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/bbd89b66b1b3c44836f560b60c7a176a6172f148/Lib/linecache.py#L32-L39

which indicates that it used to be exposed but was maybe overlooked when 
__all__ was added.
