It's a "newly generated coins" transaction from over 1500 blocks ago...
Blockchain.info claims that this transaction is unconfirmed.

http://blockchain.info/tx/a69c9904b56463728a7e29756f526723b8d19380d902c3fdc80b424046c0d52f

Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe blockchain.info is just messed up?

If you click on the block # link you'll see this: http://blockchain.info/block-index/351976

(the block was an orphan so never became part of the current blockchain)

The happens fairly regularly as part and parcel of the way that the Proof Of Work (aka Nakamoto) blockchain system operates.
