Some bits are scrambled in its PCI configuration space.

The human readable vendor id and device name are pulled from a table
(/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids on my distro) based on the
vendor_id:device_id tuple from PCI config space.  You can use lspci -n
to see the vendor_id:device_id tuple in its natural form.  If
something gets unseated (or there is an ESD discharge), and those bits
are jumbled, you will see a different vendor and/or device.
