It could be historical indeed. To verify, you could remove the Trust.db
file and re-authorize each of your applications using Location to see if
one of them still re-creates the unconfined entry.
However, being unconfined it should have been filtered out anyway. so
I'll mark the bug confirmed for now.

Title:
'unconfined' should be precached and not listed under 'Location
access' (or 'Other app access')
Status in “location-service” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “ubuntu-system-settings” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
If I go to Location access under Security & Privacy, I have an entry
in the list that is blank which corresponds to 'unconfined'
('unconfined' should be precached to default to 'allow' anyway).
We should not prompt the user for unconfined or allow the user to
adjust entries for 'unconfined' processes in System Settings since
this might break things in unexpected ways. Marking as Critical and
for rtm14 because this is user facing, confusing to have a blank
entry, can lead to unexpected behavior, it should be trivial to filter
this out in system settings and because it should be easy to precache
this.
Steps to reproduce (this resets the location trust-store db):
1. $ stop ubuntu-location-service-trust-stored
2. mv ~/.local/share/UbuntuLocationService/trust.db
~/.local/share/UbuntuLocationService/trust.db.bak
3. $ start ubuntu-location-service-trust-stored
4. launch webbrowser-app (it is unconfined)
5. navigate to maps.google.com. it will prompt to access location (browser
prompt). Say yes
At this point I am presented with a trust session prompt:
"unconfined
An unconfined application wants to access your current location.
Deny
Allow"
6. tap 'Allow'
This adds the following to the trust store:
3|unconfined|0|1411758762544069109|1
location service shouldn't be prompting for this for the reasons
outlined above. Adding location-service task.
This will likely affect camera and mic in 'Other app access'.
