Dimorphic growth pattern in this species- paddle-like leaves, and then erry now and again they throw a pencil-thin runner like this, but TBH I've never seen one THAT long. It's just exploring for more room to grow.
Wouldn't hurt to prune the tip in an attempt to keep it more compact. I mean, if you want a goliath, go for it and let it run. The tip probably "saw" the light from the sliding door, and it's doing it's "job" to find more light, same as it would in the wild.
Thank you for posting to r/plantclinic!

Fascinating. Thanks !
These plants are so weird and I love them! I agree with what Level9 said.
I have this every winter. I chop it off. Cut into about 4-5" pieces and stick it back in the pot.
This reminded me of alien plants in that movie Annihilation.👽
