Don't know where you got this query from, but it's wrong for any PG
version more recent than (I think) 9.1. We don't use "<IDLE>" as an
indicator of idle sessions anymore; rather, those can be identified
by having state = 'idle'. What's in the query column for such a session
is its last query.

It's not running. That was the last query it ran, back in November :-(
You could zap the session with pg_terminate_backend(), but
pg_cancel_backend() is not going to have any effect because there's
no active query.
