That size is not uncommon in environments where Excel is the only office
tool that the employees know how to use.

People have been abusing spreadsheets as databases since at least 1992
when the first database program that masqueraded as a spreadsheet was
commercially released.

that was a nothing more than a specialized database program. AFAIK, it
was only released as source code (Apple Pascal).
