MySQL libraries are extensions.
The mysqli library was likely a full rewrite in another extension. Extensions, at least that kind, at that time, didn't use/have namespaces.
Keep in mind this is a legacy code base with a function called mysql_real_escape string, like if you're at that point you're so far past gone you've lost all hope.
