What does b'%s' % 7 do?

See Examples of the PEP:

b'a%sc%s' % (b'b', 4) gives b'abc4'
[...]
And then what? Use the "default" encoding? ASCII?

Bytes have no encoding. There are just bytes :-)

Therefore you shouldn't accept integers. It does not make sense to
format 4 as b'4'.

Agreed.  I would have that it would result in b'\x04'.
