My guess .. Reset button ... I have the same on my tangerine iBook .. And on
my 500mhz icebook there is a tiny button next to the AV/headphone port ..
And it sports the same triangle symbol ...

I guess in older OS times that was the last resort when the machine was
stuck and you would have to use a paperclip to reset the machine ..

I never had to use that on a mac ... And it seems that even win machines
have resorted to a "10 sec hold down of powerbutton for reset" ..
