No. It is supposed to only allow rpcbind to access files that are
labelled in a specific way (I don't have a list to hand).

I don't know why /etc/services was labelled this way, but it is clearly
an error.

If /etc/services was incorrectly labelled it is possible that other
files are also incorrect.

one way to be fairly certain that your system is correctly labelled is

touch /.autorelabel

If you do this your system will be checked and relabelled on its next boot.
