Press F12 in your browser to find out. Could be a div with the overflow-y CSS property set to scroll/auto.

I-frame? Do people even really use them anymore? It's most likely a DIV, would honestly surprise me if it is indeed an iFrame.

Yes, iFrames are still used fairly often. You don't want to confuse them with Frames, which are actually only partially related and completely deprecated.

iFrames show up in a lot of low-level plumbing type stuff, such as creating printable regions on a page or as a way to exceed the one-sound-at-a-time limit with the old HTML5 audio tag. They are generally not used to create an actual HTML4-style frame area.

Oh yes, I was thinking of the old frames you used to see in 1990's era HTML, with the awful scroll bars all over the page.
