Hm, it compiles in C with GCC 8.2.0-7ubuntu1 (after removal the module
declaration), too. Weird.

C uses this idiom to maintain compatibility between function declarations in the header file and function definitions in the implementation file. When implementation includes the header, the compiler checks that declarations match definitions and can report a warning if they don't. Well, extern just allows to declare a function, and provide implementation elsewhere, not restricted where.
