Bluetooth pairing request while BT Settings is not open?

I'm confused by the Bluetooth connection prompt that I randomly received on my MBA/M2/macOS 13.2.1.
I understand that it was probably caused by someone nearby (with a Samsung device) accidentally selecting my MBA from a list of available BT devices.

But, I was under the impression that my machine would only be visible/discoverable while System Settings->Bluetooth is open.
So, shouldn't this spurious prompt be impossible...?
