books are printed in sections
you can see the effect in the books in pic related
the numbers are the section numbers (probably together with a book id) so the printers can make sure they are collated correctly

That's a page number anon. It let's you know how far into the book you are. So if it says 50, you've read 50 pages, and if the book has 100 pages, that means you're halfway through :)

Interesting, never seen any other book with its section numbers printed out on the page.

you probably never looked for them before
also they are not always there. they are more likely to be present in older books
