This likely had nothing to do with your Mac specifically. All wireless devices basically broadcast a statement out for anything to hear which goes like “Hey, here’s a full list of every SSID I’ve ever connected to, any of them available right now?” It’s very likely the program you were using caught one of those broadcasts from another one of your devices.
