Not stock. Probably a kill switch of some kind. Flip it to off and see what happens.

I'd say its a fuel pump shut off, maybe auto theft was high where the car came from. or it could be an alarm switch

Does the car have an afternarket alarm or remote start?

It looks like a safety swtich for remote start. It won't start without that switch pressed so it doesnt accidentally start when someone is working on it.

Edit: NM its a toggle switch. Not sure, may still be for an alarm or starter tho.
