Better check that. There should be a heavy wire on there that runs to the main fuse, along with the battery cable in your hand.. I think it should be red, at least it is on my '07. Could that be a red wire under black tubing?
And, yes, there should be a boot on that connection. It's hot, high current and unfused.

Are you sure that's not the main harness positive wire...???
It could be #5 in the pic below.
I believe I also see the #43/44 connector to the starter, from that same harness, attached to the starter below the lug.... as well as the neutral switch wires #54, from that same harness section
OP, in any case it definitely needs to be checked to make sure it's not a ground before connecting the battery cable.....

5/39 is the main power supply to the 40a main fuse and is powered off of the starter lug..
