This is probably a stretch since it appears like it is under the sink but is it an under slab vent for a nearby stove?

If this was an island sink, I might guess it was an attempt at venting—but in that event it should be above the flood rim of the sink.

It is a high loop vent system and it is properly installed per UBC. IRC requires a bit different set up.

you can’t always get these above the flood rim unless there is a short wall at the back of the sink that is a little higher than the sink. However they are supposed to go up “as high as possible”, usually to the underside of the countertop material.

Brian,
If you have your Code Checks, look at page 13 of CC Plumbing, special venting systems. They call this a "loop vent."

Actually bow vent is the correct terminology for this vent, still requires special permission from the AHJ for use and sign off on permit. A better solution would have been an air admittance valve. Last time I saw this used is when I was journeyman plumber with my Uncle in 1963.

Was this for an island sink? I also don’t see a cleanout.

The name of this setup has changed alot through the years.Now it is called island venting in the code book under section 913. This looks to be legal under 913.3.
A slip joint p-trap is a legal cleanout for this setup section708--708.7
