    Yes, it does.
    
    Here is a fit:
    
    Unknown 120530                  
    1 99015U 12651A   12168.30251498 0.00001000  00000-0  11646-3 0    04
    2 99015  98.1973 110.4664 0010333 302.0940  57.9059 14.85298925    01
    
    My guess is that one of the Helios payloads has been de-commissioned
    and moved into a lower orbit.  Helios 1A was launched in 1995, so it
    would be the logical candidate.
