Shocking that the guy was playing it like that.
Look at photographs of vintage Gibson solid body guitars with PAF humbuckers. You will often see the pickups adjusted that way.
If the previous owner used enough gain, the difference would have been evened out into lovingly clipped square wave distortion.
SG's can look wrong with the pickups set for a decent balance because the neck angle combined with a flat top often make it look more extreme than other guitars.
It can also be harder to find sweet spots and balance outputs when the pickups don't match the string angle.
here are a few examples which show the compromise... it can look very odd when they are mounted on t he guard
