Why does this airplane have such a strange design?

I saw the following photo of a Honeywell Aviation Services Boeing 757-225:

If it's not a fake, the airplane has a propeller mounted on a pylon on one side.

What's the purpose of such strange design? Why does it need a propeller engine, if it already has two jet engines? Or is it a permanently deployed RAT?
