You're overthinking it. It means literally what it says: a vector with
a single element `t'. Not a vector with any other contents.
`t' in Emacs documentation always means the special symbol `t', for truth.
Rather than reading the Lispref, the Emacs manual offers a better
introduction to key bindings for the purposes of user customization.
(I admit I couldn't see a clear mention of "S-" = "shift" there, though.)
