PNG files, like other file formats, contain not only the actual image 
data, but also some metadata, ranging from essential information like 
image width and height, bits per pixel etc., to whatever the thing that 
generated the image thought useful to know; for instance a camera with 
inbuilt GPS might store place & time where the image was taken. This 
portion of the image file is commonly known as "file header"

POV-Ray 3.7 includes its software version in the file header, and 
UberPOV - being based on POV-Ray 3.7 - does the same.

You'll need extra software to view all the file header contents though, 
such as a hex editor.
