It's impossible to tell without knowing what is your time zone, but
I don't see anything particularly strange about it. Non-integer offsets
do happen, and in the past there were more commonly used.

Based on what I can see in timezone data, it looks that time zone
America/Toronto
used this offset until 1895.
