Looks like the wall of plugs you'd see in a hospital room. Maybe this room was setup like this for someone with a medical condition that required a hospital bed and several machines that needed to be plugged in?
I think I read somewhere else this home was basically being used as a business and was full of PC's and desks and phones and such. Maybe like a call centre.
I had an architecture professor who studied design for aging in place, and this sort of thing was one of the things he advocated for. Aging and death are a part of life, and designing a room in the house to be able to support hospice care for a family member is a way to make a difficult experience more humane.
