It looks like the connector just happens to fit so it's only being used to make the electrical connection. The 4 pins are actually power, ground and I2C data and clock.

Edit: Here https://github.com/dekuNukem/bob_cassette_rewinder/blob/mast... you can see the white and red wires coming from the USB connector labelled as SDA and SCL.
