extremely close to an integer it equals 262537412640768743.99999999999925... Is that really surprising? The chance that a random number is that close to an integer is about 1:10^12. So by trying 10^12 crazy formulas you will have one hit. 10^12 possibilites can be covered in about 40 bits. If we look at "e^(pi*sqrt(163))" as 16 ascii characters, that's 112 bits.
