It indicates that the pitch is outside what Musescore considers the "amateur" range. Notes highlighted in red are considered outside the "professional" range. The highlight only shows on the editing screen and not in published hard copies or pdfs.
Of course, definitions of amateur and professional and their playing capabilities are a matter of individual judgement. The pitch boundaries can be adjusted in staff properties.
