USDA.gov Backlinks to Adult Sites

I was looking to see how some websites get .gov backlinks - most are legit, but for usda.gov I noticed a few adult sites.

On a scale from 1-10, how much does this impact an adult site's organic rankings?

Receiving high quality backlinks from .gov sites can dramatically increase your website rankings, but actually getting those powerful backlinks is a monumental task. Although there remains some debate over the true value of .gov extensions with Matt Cutts stating, “Google doesn’t treat .gov or .edu domains any differently,” most SEO professionals feel otherwise.
Google may not view them any better than .com. .net, or .org, but the authority factor .gov links hold gives them extra SEO power. While Google won’t give a definitive answer regarding the power of .gov links, they are considered to be the holy grail of backlinks because they are established and trusted sites.

  Instead of screenshots, why not provide the actual .gov link?

    I found it using the AHREFs backlink checker program - I'm not very technical so I don't know which pages the link is on
