Question

My form 1040 line 7 (Max amt of comb. wages and self-emplnt earnings subject to SS tax for '20) has a number about 6x the amt of my income. Why?

The number is in a different font, too. Where did this number come from?

That is just a prefilled amount for the max amount subject to Social Security Tax.  See it's even on the blank IRS SE form
