Is this metal clip on my radiator fan blade normal?

Simply put, is this normal? Is it some type of balancing weight or did the blade pick up some random piece of metal?

I had no idea they balance the fans. Interesting.

Yeah, it's a perfectly formed random piece of metal that just happened to snap in place!
