That's a reference to your FF plan that you have on the PNR.
AC = Air Canada
*A = No Status
*P = Prestige
*E = Elite
*SE= Super Elite
When flying a Star Alliance partner they will only recognize Star Silver/Gold status. UA should be recording AC*A on the boarding pass, clearly they don't update their database very often as they are still showing you as having Star Alliance Gold status (*G). If you were Star Alliance Silver it would show AC*S on UA (or other Star Alliance partners)
With ML*2 - were you on standby or did you receive an operational upgrade?
