awk does not allow digit-only variable names (and variable names can't begin with a digit as well), so _1 is a trick to prepend _ in front of 1; so, _1 is a variable name in your awk program, which happens to be an array in this case.
Here is an example:
% awk 'BEGIN 1 = 3'
awk: cmd. line:1: BEGIN 1 = 3
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ syntax error
% awk 'BEGIN _1 = 3' # runs fine
As an aside, you should use readable variable names in your program to have better maintainability unless you're golfing intentionally.
