What is it?

* "Super-Earth" rocky planet
* Tiny Primordial Black Hole
* Fluke, it doesn't exist

If it exists then it is probably a mini-Neptune that was kicked out into the outermost part of the Solar system by the other four gas giants.

But how would its perihelion get moved that far?

A hypothesis I've heard is that interstellar gravitational interactions (such as with other stars, and/or interstellar dust) might have pulled Planet Nine's periapsis as it was on its way to its then new apoapsis after an interaction with Uranus or Neptune kicked the orbit that far out.
