It is a special user, which isn't checked against the dictionary, but against a separate password file. It started of as a mechanism to give you access to the database in nomounted or mounted state, so with the database down.

Internal has been deprecated though with 8.0 and has disappeared from 9i Please us either O/S authentication
(connect / as sysdba)
or explicit username authentication
connect <user>/<password> as sysdba
