I noticed that the level 1 human paladin (from the .zip file linked here) has an intelligence score of 11, but a modifier of +1.
How is that possible? (I expected it to be 0.)

The only reason why a 10 or an 11 would be a +1 modifier is because at some point someone made a mistake and it just hasn't been fixed. Either because no one wanted to change it from the original that way everyone is using the same one, or because its just a small thing that's been getting overlooked.
Even magic items don't increase a mod itself they increase the score.
Not going to list a bunch but Tome of Clear thoughts.
Alternatively
We all know that now that Paladin isn't alignment-locked; they're just trying to give hidden reasons to play them.
