These ! and + signs in the margin look like "signs". See ":help sign.txt".

To know if they are, use
:sign list
(followed by Enter), it will tell you about all the currently defined
signs and their attributes. Maybe (I'm not sure, I don't use signs
myself) it will tell you where they were defined if you use ":verbose
sign list" instead.

See also
:help 'signcolumn'

Here too, ":verbose set signcolumn?" will tell you where it was set,
unless it was just left at its default (which is "auto") or unless it
was last set manually from the command-line.
