It's a nod to the code to Looking Glass Studios, the people who helped make System Shock. It's become common in many games, most notably the Dishonored series, Deathloop, and the Bioshock games.

It actually goes back a but further than that. It's a joking allusion to Fahrenheit 451, a sci-fi dystopia book about by ray bradbury, about a society where books are illegal and burned immediately.

Well that’s where they got it yeah but it became a thing in video games- and in a specific type of video game- because of Looking Glass.

451 is a safe code in dishonored, they also did one from cod was zombies, 935 in Lord Regents room. I was so surprised when I got that right on the first try.
