Very uncommon play indeed. While I don't really see the merit in overanalysing this spot because villain is probably just a recreational player that makes random plays sometimes here we go.

The only things that really makes sense are AA (maybe KK) to trap/induce action, or a holding that plays well multiway while holding a blocker. A5s comes to mind as something you can call on the button while also being a fairly standard 4-bet bluff pre-flop. Taking this line with smaller pocket pairs, AQs+ just seems bad, but who knows.

The breakeven range is about 99+, AQs+, KQs, AKo. Given the overall tight population in NL5 zoom that seems a little wide to me. The call can't ever be super bad however as you hold blockers to AA and KK. If you start folding AKo pre-flop I fear you open yourself up to be massively exploited. If villain is playing a bit too wide, or properly balanced his range with bluffs such as A5s, calling is already +EV in isolation.
