Since every block so far is exactly 50 BTC + fees, the block with the largest fees is the same block as the largest block rewards.
The block with the largest fees and the block containing the top transaction fee are not necessarily the same Smiley Many small fees can overcome a single large fee.
That 180 BTC single transaction fee is nonsense and was probably created for fun or by mistake.
Definitely an outlier:

That topic is about largest transaction fees.

This topis is about largest block rewards. I wonder if many small fees have accumulated to create something like 5 BTC.

The reward is built-in reward + transaction fees. So what is the maximum in block chain?

We all expect transaction fees to overcome built-in block reward at some point in the future. So where are we now? Has anyone received 55 BTC for a block (50 builtin and 5 fees)?
