No, not installes by me. According to Home · Wiki · geoclue / geoclue · GitLab

"Geoclue is a D-Bus service that provides location information. The goal of the Geoclue project is to make creating location-aware applications as simple as possible.

The aim of project is to utilize all possible sources of geolocation to best find user’s location:

  • WiFi-based geolocation (accuracy: in meters)
  • GPS(A) receivers (accuracy: in centimeters)
  • GPS of other devices on the local network, e.g smartphones (accuracy: in centimeters)
  • 3G modems (accuracy: in kilometers, unless modem has GPS)
  • GeoIP (accuracy: city-level)"
    and on {Solved] Geoclue demo agent - Linux Mint Forums
    " package geoclue-2.0 which is a service that facilitates location aware applications to get your location. I think it’s probably preinstalled in Mint XFCE as a dependency of redshift."

I had tried to install redshift awhile back but did not succeed -
perhaps this is a remnant, though it was never intentionally
activated.
