It looked like it came out with the distributor, how can that be, or is it something that was there I didn't notice..

I've never seen anything like this before. The only thing I think it COULD possibly be is that SOME distributor CAPS have a little window where you can slide open a metal tab. I THINK this is to allow someone to perform a dwell check on a points distributor. I've only ever had a couple of points cars before... and they were all VWs. But a lot of distributor caps still come with that window... so maybe that's where it came from? The Fiero distributor cap comes from a design that at one time had these windows. I had an Iron Duke distributor cap with one of these windows back in the 90s... no idea why it had it.
Here's an example:

It kinda freaked me out, it really appeared like it was coming out with the distributor, like it was a key.
Good thing I saw it and stopped, grabbed it with a magnet.
