If you enter, for example, into a cell it will be
recognised as an email address and turned into a mailto: hyperlink.

If you subsequently enter a formula into the same cell, without clearing
the cell first then the hyperlink will still be attached to the cell.

Hi Mark,
Is it possible that you have a combination of characters that you
once wanted to be changed to an @ sign.

Check Tools, Autocorrect to see if you have
an @ sign in any of the substitutions wanted.
