Seeing three pawns directly in front of it, I wouldn't necessarily call the pawn 'passed'.

"In chess, a passed pawn is a pawn with no opposing pawns to prevent it from advancing to the eighth rank, i.e. there are no opposing pawns in front of it on the same file nor on an adjacent file. A passed pawn is sometimes colloquially called a passer. Passed pawns can be an advantage because only the opponent's pieces can prevent them from promoting."

The term is "advanced pawn" not "passed pawn" I think. In any case, this game was full of weird moves in the opening...
