If it has a keyID it is a translatable string, if not it is either not
coming from LibreOffice / would be translated by the system or is
indeed hardcoded.
svx/uiconfig/ui/medialine.ui has the string you mentioned (the Play
string) - but that file doesn't define any tooltips.

and also is not the file that's used for the sidebar. That is defined
in svx/uiconfig/ui/mediaplayback.ui (So I assume you looked for Play
in weblate and that was the result as opposed to using a keyID build
and getting that ID displayed in the UI, right?)

And there the strings are defined as not translatable.
e.g. https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/refs/heads/master/svx/uiconfig/ui/mediaplayback.ui#197

no need to check in other languages, it is not a string that is
extracted to the po files/it is as you said hardcoded/has been that
way since at least five years/since the initial conversion to the ui
format (as opposed to defining/creating the UI in cxx)
