That's the point of fat binaries: they contain .text sections for several architectures. Even the installation DVD was a single one, for both platforms.
Some more modern example of the same concept:
Terminal: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64e]
Terminal (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
Terminal (for architecture arm64e): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e
