This is not a vanity address. It just has the right checksum at the end of the address.
Bitcoin addresses are the pubkeyhash (not pubkey) plus version and checksum information, encoded in base 58.
Bitcoin address = version + RIPEMD-160(SHA-256( Public Key )) + checksum

These addresses are known as Vanity addresses.
You can create one yourself, using VanityGen.
Here's my address: 1HeAddU7rbzWroCdMukx1W1H6ECGHCX8sf
Created it through VanityGen.

No, it is not a vanity address. A vanity address has a private key and can be used to receive and send Bitcoins. That is a totally bogus address with no private key. All Bitcoins sent to that address will be lost forever. There are a lot of them. People have written a lot of stuff in the Blockchain using this method.
Here is one I did:

Which reads:
Code:
11When1DieBuryMeDeepLayTwoXVEY5jv 0.00000001 BTC
11SpeakersAtMyFeetAPairofXXTyrHor 0.00000001 BTC

I explain it in this thread:

And there are many other threads on the subject.
... people do not have the private key for that address, so those bitcoins are theoretically lost.
No, not "theoretically lost", they are lost forever. https://blockchain.info/address/1PavedWithGodAndSomeTeensionXudq5X
As you can see, the address 1PavedWithGodAndSomeTeensionXudq5X has Paved, with, god, and, some, teension
6 actual words!
Well, teension is not an actual word, but it's readable word
How was it possible to generate so many words that aren't just random characters? Also strange that it recieved that 1.6 BTC from 35 different other addresses... what is this then?

It probably is a throw away address. You can search for any address you want and send bitcoins to it (which is what others have done), but people do not have the private key for that address, so those bitcoins are theoretically lost.
They can generate the addy, that is easy. They do not have the private key, so the money in there is lost forever.
