$posted_on variable holds a permalink to the currently open post

I'm having an issue with the below lines that are part of function flatsome_posted_on() within https://github.com/nhannd314/flatsome/blob/master/inc/structure/structure-posts.php. The function can either be called on the page with posts which is understandable as the permalink of the date brings a user to the post itself, but the same permalink is also used on the post itself which also brings the user to the currently open post - I don't quite understand the logic behind it. My idea is that the link in the date on the post should bring the user to the archive page with posts from the same date. :)

$posted_on = sprintf(
        esc_html_x( 'Posted on %s', 'post date', 'flatsome' ),
        '<a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '" rel="bookmark">' . $time_string . '</a>'
    );
