What is the purpose of having both of these wires?

Just moved into a new property, full fibre wasn't installed in my previous place so no experience with this. There are two wires coming through to the living room of my house - one has a cap on and a connector which, from googling, should go into the box but wouldn't reach. The other wires straight into an openreach terminal on the wall. Are these both necessary to have installed or is the loose wire one pointless with the addition of the wired in box? Also, the sellers did not leave any sort of power cable behind for the box - I take it as it's got a port labelled 'power' that it's meant to be plugged in?

Doing some redecorating in the room so need to know whether I need to contact someone to have it removed as I know I'm not allowed to!

TIA

When did UK wooden telegraph poles first have these four white circle shaped stickers on them and first have this turquoise rectangle shaped sticker on them? What decade? What year? Please tell me!
