This is probably true. However, the "Technic Steering Arm Large" that
came with the 8880 Supercar comes in two versions: The first year (or
so) of production, the steering arm has a cross axle hole. Later
versions had the technic pin socket, like your version. So the part in
LDraw is correct; you simply have a different version of the part.
I don't know if both versions of the part had the same number, though.
Perhaps the LDraw version should be renumbered? Anybody know if the
original "Technic Steering Arm Large" has the number 6540?

It was probably modeled by Jessiman? I'm really impressed with the
number of parts he authored.

Yup! :-)

Probably not. The 8865 has a rather similar part, though. It has a
normal axle hole for connecting a wheel rahter than the 2L diameter hole
in the Supercar steering arm. This part is also included in 8485,
although only one (and black). :-/
