it's the Affect Pivot Only mode. If you go to Hierachy tab, click Affect Pivot Only, you'll see these large arrows...so you adjust the Pivot only, not the object.

Now normally, when you get out of this Hierachy panel...back to Modifier say....you should no longer see these (or be in Affect Pivot Only mode)...so how is it possible according to your pic ?

You must have pressed the Insert key (the one next to Home). So simply press it again...(yes it can be annoying that the gizmo doesn't update immediately...but it will toggle its state after you pressed it and nudged it a bit)

you're not doing a Homer: "Where's the ANY key ?" on me are ya ?

on your physical keyboard, above/near the arrows...on most desktop keyboards that is....

for laptops, just have a look around...
