Most (all?) IR lasers leak visible light too. Look into any 1310nm SFP module and you'll see red light even though 1310nm is well outside the visible range.

And no, this won't burn your eyes out. Despite what the clipboard warriors claim, a laser that's designed to couple to fiber will not magically focus itself at the exact distance where your eyes are located. Instead the beam will diverge as if the 1mW laser was a 1mW LED.

I can see 780 nm (rubidium laser cooling light) specularly reflected from an index card at maybe 100 mW, if memory serves.
