It's listed as a periodic tiling. If you move the whole plane one square to the left or right you'll find that everything fits into place nicely, making this a periodic tiling.

Hm, I'm not knowledgeable about this subject but this seems like the offset on each row is NOT random, but it's instead repeating. Imagine instead that each time I added a new row, I chose the offset to be, say, a completely new value.
Doesn't matter, because your new row will still be offset with the same random value to existing rows after moving one square to the left or right.
