Things like this happen all the time in glass making. An air bubble will get cought in the glass while it is being made. It shouldn't, however, have made it passed the inspection team and shouldn't have ever been sold. A tank can go it's entire existance with something like this as long as the glass, as Rollin said, is smooth on both sides.
