I have a bunch of blocks in a drawing that are named *A000. Does anyone know what type of blocks these are?
Thanks,

anonymus blocks

Usually anonymous blocks are *U#. Are you sure these blocks aren't referenced somewhere? Post the drawing if you can.

open some in block editor

Open the block definition with the VLIDE. You can step through the entities in a text format, which can be handy if the block is empty or has hard-to-see content.

Annotation scaling objects, e.g.
dictionaries (root)
-> (dictionary) "ACAD_SCALELIST"
-> Pointers to anonymous blocks
or ...
Annotation enabled object (e.g. dimenstion)
-> Extension dictionary
-> Dictionary
-> (AcDbDictionary) Dictionary
-> (AcDbContextDataManager) Dictionary
-> (ACDB_ANNOTATIONSCALES) Dictionary
-> (AcDbAlignedDimensionObjectContextData) Anonymous block
-> (AcDbScale)
-> Data for the scale, description & values
