I found this description on spaCy: "MISC: Miscellaneous entities, e.g., events, nationalities, products, or works of art." for models recognizing PER, LOC, ORG, MISC.

MISC is a category from the CoNLL 2003 evaluation data which is typically used to develop NER models. Honestly I don't think there is any definition of MISC beyond "is a named entity" and "isn't PERSON, ORG, or LOC".
