I noticed in this log entry that there is a link to "Special:PermaLink/737212936".

I was wondering what extension is this (if any) and what the number means.

This is part of recent versions of MediaWiki (I don't know when it was introduced). The number is the revision id, which you can usually see as the "oldid" URL parameter on page histories.
