hmm. inspected a lot of homes, never saw anything quite like that. 🙂 :beer:
The energy crisis of the 70's caused a lot of home builders to make "energy efficient" considerations... The circulation fan was one of them... it eliminates energy loss... My home has no exterior vents and all the outlets are on interior walls to avoid the void the wiring would cause int he insulation... I hate it most of the year, but come winter I look at my gas bill and forgive...

the bathroom exhaust fan is often just used to make noise,
to make the person using the toilet less self conscious,of the noises they are making.
The venting of it to get rid of smells is often secondary.
Did it also have a light?
No light. And I'm sure if I checked with the city, I would be told that the bathroom must be vented to meet the code requirements.

Must be vented if there is no window in the bathroom...
I have never seen a bathroom exhaust fan like that, but most people are surprised to learn that most kitchen stove-hood exhaust fans don't go anywhere, either. they simply suck the air in the bottom and spit it out the front.
Now using that in a bathroom... doesn't make a lot of sense. But it really might have been designed to circulate and nothing else.

Man my apartment has a fan that does that 🙁
It was one of the first things I checked after I moved in, because at the time I was smoking pretty much daily, and I liked the extra security of thinking the smell wouldn't seep through the neighbors walls.
I opened it up, found a filter that hadn't been changed since it was installed 20 years ago, and a dead end.
I told my landlord, and asked her to have maintenance replace the filter. She "researched" it, and said "oh, it's not supposed to have a vent, it's just to circulate the air around" :|
Needless to say, I stocked up on fabric softener sheets 😱
.. and I'm sure that my neighbor knows when I'm taking a nasty dump by the smell
