Suspect value

I've found a very suspect value in table B01002D, column B01002D_002, which is MEDIAN AGE BY SEX (ASIAN ALONE), for Males. In Placer County, CA, census tract 210.38, block group 4 (060610210384), the value for the median age is 115+. You can check it out here:
factfinder.census.gov/.../0500000US06061.15000
This is the only median age value for any geography in the country greater than 99. I'll e-mail Census, and see if they have any further information.

I'm not sure that's a terribly satisfying answer, given that values in those tables are supposed to have been suppressed for small sample size. If the issue in this case is too-small sample size, then why were the data reported in that table?
