That comes from the following entry in:

    /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml

   <mime-type type="application/x-pak">
     <comment>PAK archive</comment>
      ...
     <comment xml:lang="en_GB">PAK archive</comment>
      ...
     <generic-icon name="package-x-generic"/>
     <magic priority="80">
       <match offset="0" type="string" value="PACK"/>
     </magic>
     <glob pattern="*.pak"/>
   </mime-type>

Looks like the "PAK Archive" format was something in DOS back in the 1990's.
Can give you a German Wiki article (seemingly no English equivalent):
