The frameset specifies three rows:
<frameset rows="0,99,*"frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">

This bug is caused by a stray <form> tag in the source of the top frameset. 
Specifically, this chunk of html:

    <form name="keywordForm" method="post"
action="http://www.sears.com/jsp-scripts/framework/home.jsp" target="_top"
onSubmit="return( fn_kw_checkKeyword() );"> 
    <input type=hidden name="BV_SessionID"
value="@@@@0624058002.0971139059@@@@">
<input type=hidden name="BV_EngineID" value="kaljddddhgjbgfbmgclchl.0">
<input type=hidden name ="targetPage" value="/mercado/searchall.jsp"><input
type=hidden name ="vertical" value="SEARS">
    
        <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
bgcolor="#333399"><form>  <-*************Extra*<form>*tag************
          <tr bgcolor="#333399"> 

This form tag causes us to close the containing form, which causes us to demote
the containing form from a container to a leaf, which means that the bottom form
margin (see bug 41806 for why it's there) is after the containing form but
*before* the blue table cell, shifting it down on the page.

This is a malformed page, so the bug is invalid.  We should be backwards
compatabile with Nav here, but simply turning off the bottom margin on the form 
would break an equal number of other sites that depend on that bottom margin
being there.  A more complete understanding of what Nav does is required to fix
this bug.  Will look at this after RTM.

Bulk reassignin HTML FRAME/IFRAME bugs to Eric.

URL in question seems to work, now, and per Pollmann's comments bug is due to
invalid HTML and hard to fix without breaking other things. Therefore closing as
INVALID.
