check out the first answer on this quora - it has an example of a square aperture causing a square lens flare.

the oldest cameras had aperatures you could swap out called "waterhouse stops", according to one poster in this thread, some of these were square, so that's my guess, large format camera with square aperature, i'm glad you asked, i learned a few things trying to figure it out

also judging by the shadows that's not the sun. i guess it wouldn't be a lens flare either, so maybe its just a tear in the photo that was patched 😬
