I'm honestly not sure what you're seeing here.  by "balance" entry do
you mean "Opening Balance"?  Or do you mean "Imbalance-<CUR>"?  Or do
you mean something else?

Can you open some of your backup files to figure out when this
transaction got created, and maybe by that remember how you created it?
