It is hard to tell the size from the photo. I patterned stuff next to it, wallpaper, gift wrap seems to suggest it is small. "Just had the floor epoxied." In moving the furniture, it is possible the damage has been there for a long time and just went unnoticed. Was I to guess, it looks like dry rot to me. Water, plus a nitrogen source, fertilizer will quickly rot wood, particularly pine which is subject to rot. If. you take a needle, like a large sewing needle I will bet you will discover it is more rotten than what you see. It does not look strong enough to support a table. The leg probably needs to be remade or the table tossed.
