And if you now try `emacs -Q ~/.emacs.el` anew, you again see the \NNN
and the "=" in the modeline?
Does the file have file-local variables as in
-*- ... -*-
on the first line or
Local Variables:
...
End:
on the last few lines?

Yes, the `=` means that Emacs decided that this file should be treated
as binary data rather than utf-8 text, basically.
Could you also try to search for a 0-byte? E.g. with
C-s C-q 0 C-s C-s
?
