Confusing point #1 - the "physical exam" is referring to a doctors exam, proving you don't have any chronic health issues which would prevent you from operating a vehicle safely; including vision issues which would require you to wear corrective lenses while driving. In order to get your permit, you need to have a doctor complete a physical paper. All this requirement is saying is that the paper needs to have been filled out at most 6 months before you apply for the permit.

Confusing point #2 - the site you're linking to isn't official; it looks to be a reference site that gathers info from various states and tries to be a single point of information. These sites shouldn't be trusted IMO. They are mostly out there generating ad-revenue by impersonating authority. In some cases, they may be accurate, but the specific state's own site (in this case PA) would certainly be THE site to trust.
