Because they are calling the object's parent class method.
:: is a scope resolution operator.
From VF Help:
The :: operator is used to execute a parent class method from within a subclass method. When you create a subclass, the subclass methods are automatically inherited from the parent class. The :: operator lets you execute the parent class method in the subclass method and then perform additional processing for the subclass method.
