This fraction was constructed deliberately so it draws out infinitely many copies of the blackboard bold letter $\mathbb{Q}$. The authors also give two very similar numbers, equivalent to several hundred decimal places, the first of which draws just a single copy of the letter and the other of which draws “random” noise.
