Presuming Drupal 5 see here:

http://api.drupal.org/api/function/module_invoke/5

that number is passed to:

http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_block/5

Beyond that I don't know. See here:

http://drupal.org/node/164799

that your code appears correct, but there is also a sample there using 
25, not 1, and also one with no number there at all.

HTH,
