What could this file suggest?
Was this part of a mining file? node? So weird.
Its just a blk.dat file (and it's quite large wasn't it?), it consists of blocks that's required by the client to verify transactions.

What you want to find is something named like "wallet.dat" or any ".dat" that is not larger than 10mb unless it was used a lot of times (in some cases).
Also, it shouldn't be in "blocks" folder.

My two cents is that if you happen to successfully recover the wallet file, it might be already corrupted and produce some issues.
Make sure to make a backup copy this time before trying to use a private key recovery software on it.
