df5 = pd.DataFrame({"A": np.random.randint(0, 7, size=50),
"B": np.random.randint(-10, 15, size=50)})
df5.mode()
A B
0 1.0 -9
1 NaN 10
2 NaN 13
Why does the NaN come from here?

Reason is if check DataFrame.mode:
Get the mode(s) of each element along the selected axis.
The mode of a set of values is the value that appears most often. It can be multiple values.
So missing values means for A is ony one mode value, for B column are 3 mode values, so for same rows are added missing values.
If check my sample data - there is mode A 2 times and B only once, because 2and 3 are both 11 times in data:
np.random.seed(20)
df5 = pd.DataFrame({"A": np.random.randint(0, 7, size=50),
"B": np.random.randint(-10, 15, size=50)})
print (df5.mode())
A B

1 3 NaN
print (df5.A.value_counts())
