It indicates what type/model of GPU is in your computer.

Those numbers refer to the video card in that Mac. It has 256MB of memory.

Some macs come with video cards made by ATI and some macs have no video cards but instead make use of the built-in video chip on the motherboard (some have both)

Thanks all. It was a different type number than my other macs so I was curious. Appreciate you expanding my brain.
