It was a factory option, RPO code UQ7. It was part of the optional subwoofer system. The switch and slider control the subwoofer system.
In addition, there should have been a radio and HVAC faceplate with the "Performance Sound" badge:
According to Frankie's figures, for 1987 (both Trans AM and GTA), the UQ7 was equipped on 1,726 Trans AM & GTAs but the option was available on other years. It was not exactly the most common option.

Re: Interesting find @ the junkyard
It was actually available starting in '84. However, the switch you have was used starting in '85.

Interestingly it was NA on the GTA & Trans Am with the L98 in 1987 in the US. It was much more common on lesser cars.
