The page lists "Coinbase Transaction" in the quantity 7.15968084 BTC.
The coinbase transaction is the first one listed in the block. It has no explicit payer, and can be valued up to/including the sum of:
- the block's aggregate transaction fees
- the block subsidy (6.25 BTC starting with block 630,000 today)
There's some technically detailed information on coinbase transaction/money stock edge cases that have occurred over the years here:

Also see this discussion of a jaw-dropping miscalculation of the block subsidy (even though dated April 1, it's for real):
