I thought this star looked odd. Maybe two stars. I might be mistaken, but is Simbad saying its a galaxy?

Gaia reports two stars with significant proper motions – so definitely not a galaxy 
Possibly Simbad is referring to something else nearby?

The galaxy in Simbad is almost 2 arcmins away.

Thank you. I went to sleep after this thinking I must be mistaken or there was an error. I probably read it as arc second. I tried a galaxy nearby and it said a few hundred for that G. This is all been on my old android phone and internet has been slow.
