this was more than likely an error as the interface will still take both commands, my guess is that it will be a trunk interface but you can verify this with sh interface trunk or sh interface gi1/0/3 switchport
there is no reason, the port is hardcoded as a trunk so that command has no use. It would only mean something if it said switchport mode access. It doesn't hurt anything but it doesn't do anything either .
