Looks to me like they just used an insulation piercing tap to replace the old, high gauge solenoid wire. It's probably run right up to the starter relay inside the car. Not a big deal although I would just ditch the splice and put a regular spade connector on the yellow wire and toss the little piece that's left from the factory wire.
