Sometimes a table does that. I believe it is a bug.
Microsoft probably calls it a feature. It doesn't seem to
matter, but you can probably change it anyhow. Click the
table, then click Table > Table Properties. Click the
Table tab, and at Text Wrapping click None. If you need
text wrapping, click in the top row of the table, then
click Table > Split Table. This will (usually) insert a
blank paragraph above the table. Press Ctrl + Shift + *
to see the paragraph marks, if necessary. You can make
that paragraph's font as small as you like. The blank
paragraph, which Word sees as text, seems to be able to
defend the header against encroachment by the table.

I have a landscape table in a document, that somehow
exists in the header space. Whne I go to the header, the
body text is faded as it should, but the dotted line
around the header space shows that it surrounds the table
down the entire page. When I try to recut the table in
clearly the body portion of the page, it somehow appears
in the header space again. How do I fix this?
