AFAIK the signal quality is computed in one of two ways: 1) A directly reported value from the card if the card supports "Quality" reporting 2) (signal strength in dBm) - (noise level in dBm) for cards that do not support that.
Since I use Fedora + KDE so cannot comment on the screenshot (looks like Ubuntu+Gnome), maybe the two readings are from two different tools that are reporting using different methods.
