I raised an issue about it with the gnome-disk-utility developers, and it seems to be a theming issue in Ubuntu.

The presence of an icon probably indicates the disk is in standby, and it should likely be a sort of "ZZZ" icon, as seen in :

gnome-disk-utility zzz

Based on their advice I filed a GitHub Issue for the Yaru theme, and this has been fixed in their main branch, although this doesn't seem to have propagated to 20.04 yet...
