Breaking Bad is canon in the Breaking Bad universe. Look closely at Hank's bookshelf in season 5, episode 12, at around 35 minutes, and you can see a Breaking Bad DVD in his house.

Where the Breaking Bad DVD sits on Hank's shelf

Breaking Bad (2008), starring Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, put this funny little detail in the show, and it's really there. The DVD case sits next to a book about horses, and I believe it's the case from seasons 1 and 2.

A mistake or an intentional joke

It may be a funny little mistake that was left in, or maybe it was done intentionally for fun.
