Google removed support for Noindex in robots.txt in September 2019. No crawler honours it.
Consequence. Pages this line was meant to keep out of search are being indexed normally. The line reads as protection while providing none.
If that is not intended. Serve "X-Robots-Tag: noindex" as an HTTP header, or add <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> to the page. The page must stay crawlable for either to be seen.
Noindex has no effect: Google removed support for "Noindex" in robots.txt in September 2019; no crawler honours itL3
