It does actually have a purpose in life. From the manual located at
<URL:http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=6602>:
The more spam you mark, the better our system will get at weeding out
those annoying messages. If you or we should happen to goof and mark a
good message as spam, click Not Spam at the top of the message. If you
marked it as spam, you can also click Undo immediately after to
recover the message.
