I'm reminded me of this big red button with red placard reading "ATTENTION: do not push red button unless it is an emergency" I came across in a bathroom at a highway rest stop years ago:

What happened when you pressed the button?

But seriously, I think that's a bad sign, because it doesn't describe what emergencies the button can help with.

From context, I'd assume it's an assistance alarm. But they're usually pull-cords where I'm from.

Or it's a novelty button that does nothing because someone thought it was funny.

It's located in the men's room at the rest stop on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel near the entry/exit door. I assume the women's room has a similar button.

I didn't press it. I've gotten in enough trouble in my life pressing buttons I shouldn't have.
