The orange pushpins represent books that have been temporarily marked. These marks are used via many plugins and via the Temp marker feature of calibre. Previous to calibre version 1.6 this feature was implemented via a plugin and some plugins like Find Duplicates used temp marker to track items. At that time all temp marks were invisible to the user.

Release: 1.6 [11 Oct, 2013]
New Features
- Temporary marking of books in the library This allows you to select books from your calibre library manually and mark them. This 'mark' will remain until you restart calibre, or clear the marks. You can easily work with only the marked subset of books by right clicking the Mark Books button. To use this feature, go to Preferences->Toolbars and add the 'Mark Books' tool to the main toolbar.

If you start up your library and find books marked it is mostly likely because you marked certain books in the Find Duplicates plugin as duplicate exemptions. Those exemptions will always (or until plugin changes are made) have pushpins. You can go to the Find Duplicates menu and remove the exemptions and the pushpins will go away.
You didn't find the Temp Marker menu item when you right clicked because this feature requires the user to add it to whichever menu or toolbar they wish via
Preferences -> Toolbars.
I hope this helped.
