Is it normal to have MD5 hashing algorithm in a router login page?

I found this in the html page for a router. Does anyone know specifically what its for, and is it bad?

I noticed "hmac" in the file as well, so my guess is that it's the hashing algorithm for the password.

Back in the day of IE6-IE8 (and maybe IE9?), there was no access from JavaScript to any kind of Cryptographic APIs. This looks like a typical, but sacrilegious implementation of MD5 hashing algorithm in JavaScript. It's uncommon these days to see such a code, as it is very hazardous to implement, or even try to implement hashing algorithm on your own.
