No it wasn't that. When I clicked on it, it was like I was playing a song or video. I wasn't. I managed to get rid of it by restart.

If you mean this it's the Time Machine icon…

If it's something else, what happens when you click or control-click on it?

When I clicked on it... it opened with what looked to be a song or video but it didn't play when I tried. I wasn't playing any songs or videos.

Sounds like the restart fixed it for you.
