The doc string says this (still, in Emacs 29 master today):

  `\\[universal-argument]' means until end of buffer.

That's incorrect.  It should say this, or equivalent:

  `\\[universal-argument]' means repeat until reaching `point-max'.

If the buffer is narrowed then "end of buffer" is incorrect.  

"end of the visible portion of the buffer" or some such would also be
OK, though less precise.
