While it looks odd, it appears to be legit. The update service for the 
Linux manpages uses the machine UUID in the name of its "run-" directory:

[root at 5211r ~]# systemctl |grep man
   crond.service                                  loaded  active running

I've noticed the same on two of my own 5210R and am digging into it now. 
So far I don't have a solid answer to that yet.
