Hello Petra This is something that I also encountered yesterday, I also did not create the template and had no luck getting rid of the shading. I also couldn't find any reason for it happening!

I did not create the document myself but I cannot see any rhyme or reason to why the shading appears on some numbers and not others, or indeed, why it appears at all.
