I see the submission time as an hour ago, so it actually looks like it got a second-chanced, i.e. boosted by the site admins.

That's correct - you can see from https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=freddykruger that this post was actually submitted 23 hours ago. The timestamp at the top of the thread is relativized to fit the second-chance pool (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).
