Unpredictable format of info metrics

[antoxa9898]

What happened:
Hi. Our scraper which collects metric from KSM use such header - Accept: application/openmetrics-text;version=1.0.0;charset=utf-8,application/vnd.google.protobuf;proto=io.prometheus.client.MetricFamily;encoding=delimited;q=0.7,text/plain;version=0.0.4;q=0.3
and it receives info metric in such format - # TYPE resource_info info

but if i make one request to ksm with such headers(like from browser) - Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,image/apng,/;q=0.8,application/signed-exchange;v=b3;q=0.7
it returns metric in such format - # TYPE resource_info gauge

and after this request our scraper receives this metric on all requests as - # TYPE resource_info gauge

What you expected to happen:
I expect that ksm should return metric in same format to all requests with specific headers

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

curl -H 'Accept: application/openmetrics-text;version=1.0.0;charset=utf-8,application/vnd.google.protobuf;proto=io.prometheus.client.MetricFamily;encoding=delimited;q=0.7,text/plain;version=0.0.4;q=0.3' http://ip-appress-here:8080/metrics | grep 'TYPE resource_info'
# TYPE resource_info info

curl -H 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8,application/signed-exchange;v=b3;q=0.7' http://ip-appress-here:8080/metrics | grep 'TYPE resource_info'
# TYPE resource_info gauge

# now all requests with specific headers receive gauge, which previously received info
curl -H 'Accept: application/openmetrics-text;version=1.0.0;charset=utf-8,application/vnd.google.protobuf;proto=io.prometheus.client.MetricFamily;encoding=delimited;q=0.7,text/plain;version=0.0.4;q=0.3' http://ip-appress-here:8080/metrics | grep 'TYPE resource_info'
# TYPE resource_info gauge
