In short, it's "a multitude of factors".

Here's the longer version:


We’ve ranked the errors so that those at the top of the priority list
will be ones where there’s something you can do, whether that’s fixing
broken links on your own site, fixing bugs in your server software,
updating your Sitemaps to prune dead URLs, or adding a 301 redirect to
get users to the “real” page. We determine this based on a multitude
of factors, including whether or not you included the URL in a
Sitemap, how many places it’s linked from (and if any of those are
also on your site), and whether the URL has gotten any traffic
recently from search.


It's from a blog post that is a few years old, so they might have changed their algorithms since then.
