It might be very confusing but… in Word 2007, if I place the insertion cursor next to the paragraph end mark associated with the Next Page Section Break on page 1 of that document, the Style toolbar on the Ribbon says “Heading 1”.

It is possible for a heading style to be applied to the paragraph where the section break resides. That doesn't mean that the section break and the style are linked.
Usually, when you are working with a table of contents and section breaks, the easiest solution is to display nonprinting marks, for example by clicking the ¶ icon on the Home tab. Also, press Alt+F9 (or Alt+Fn+F9 on some keyboards) to display field codes. Add an extra paragraph mark, by pressing Enter, so that you separate the TOC field from the following paragraph. You can now apply the Normal style to the text paragraphs, if you wish, and you can more easily delete the section break.
