That's most likely the result of MLD snooping. In this case "static" means not "dynamic" (normal traffic-based MAC learning); the switch put the MAC entry there as part of the MLD snooping mechanism.

In my experience, MLD snooping is broken in various older hardware & in some software. You could try disabling it instead of overriding it with your own static MAC entry.
