That is precisely what that is. That monitor is somewhat unique in
that in includes the power supply for the PS/1 and without it, the
PS/1 is useless. As a result, the monitors tend to be more valuable
than the computer they're intended to compliment.
If memory serves, some UK x86 series was like this as well... Amstrad
maybe? Reminds me of the Coleco Adam, for without a functional
daisywheel printer, the entire system would not function (power was in
the printer).
Thanks for the confirmation!
