Uhm, is this syntactically valid Pascal? As I recall, every Pascal construct was delimited in some way.

I think it's okay. Pascal's control structures such as
if-then and while-do mostly take single statements and
didn't have an ending keyword. If you want multiple
statements in the body you have to put begin-end around
them.

Putting a semicolon after REPEAT is stylistically a
bit odd, but it's not wrong.
