Thanks!  I ran that through LaTeX and displayed it on macOS 10.15.4
using Skim 1.5.9.  Indeed, when I click on some numbers in the table,
FaceTime pops up offering to "Click call to make this call"!

I launched it with Acrobat Reader and didn't have the effect. 
(However, when I tried to get the version with 'About', Acrobat reader
failed with 'not responding' beach ball When I reported the problem to
Apple, I got the version is 20.009.20065.  Maybe it's just an old
version.  Who needs it when we have the wonderful Skim?  ;-)

With Preview 11.0, the mouse becomes a pointer hand (as with the other
two) but I get a tone when I click on a number.

The preprint of our recent publication has a table on page 14:

https://alum.mit.edu/www/toms/papers/lattice/lattice.pdf

The mouse pointer turns into a hand over those numbers, but does NOT
pop up.  Those numbers have decimals in them so don't look like phone
numbers I suppose.

minimizing your example even further:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
  \centering
  \scriptsize
  \begin{tabular}{lrrrrr}
    \hline\hline
    &num.unique &missing.values &numzero &zero.or.missing      
&observed.nonzero\\
&  276     &     16943  &   939      &     17882      &        373     \\
    \hline
&   34     &       124.2  &     0      &       124.2      &      18131     \\
    \hline
\hline\hline
  \end{tabular}
  \caption{\small\it blah blah. }
  \label{tab:missing}
\end{table}
\end{document}

The top line on the right shows up as phone numbers,
but adding the '.2' apparently stopped that.

If I create a file in the Terminal with a phone number-like set of
digits and then highlight it, a right click provides options for:

Call [the number] Using iPhone
FaceTime
FaceTime Audio
Message [the number]

If I highlight some text, those options are not shown.

So apparently the macOS is looking for phone like things and will
provide you with the option to call if it reognizes something ...  As
they say, it's a feature, not a bug!

Ok, let's see if that's true.
