Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Largely what Mike said.
It runs a graphical version of sudo. So just like the CLI sudo, if you were prompted in the last five minutes or so, then it won't ask again.

New That's why I asked
A couple of days ago I noticed it ran without prompting, but couldn't remember for sure if I had used sudo recently. So this time I made sure of it.

Besides, each invocation of sudo is locked to a particular process, isn't it? So if I use it in a terminal, close that and open a new terminal, I don't still have it. Is the graphical version different, and bound to the desktop environment?

New Did you tell it to remember the pass word in the
local vault (or whatever the keyring is now called)

If so, once you unlock that keyring, its a done deal.
New Hmm ... didn't notice that
It's possible there was an option, but I didn't notice it. So it's possible either it was defaulted to checked, or I was still typing when the window took focus and I accidentally clicked it.

New Change your password on the CLI
Next time it needs it, it'll be wrong and it'll force it to prompt for it.
