The latest TeX Live release is 2009 (released early November 2009). Included is tlmgr (TeX Live Manager), able to perform various tasks one of which is updating the TeX Live installation. tlmgr can be run in command-line mode, and has an X11 GUI.

What you're seeing is most likely the result of an update through tlmgr. I don't know whether the updates can be performed automatically, or whether you must have run tlmgr yourself at some point (for example installing a new package).

On the Mac, MacTeX-2009 includes a Cocoa front-end TeX Live Utility to tlmgr. I'm runnning it regularly for updates and package management, and have exactly the same as you in /usr/local/texlive/2009/install-tl:

Reaarding SyncTeX, if memory serves right it was only included in TeX Live from 2008 onwards, so it's quite normal you can't have it with TeX Live 2007.
