I have a popup that comes up over a blanket div that greys out the entire screen, but I don't like its positioning. So I tried to manually enter left: and top: elements into my CSS, but when I look at Chrome's console, there's this element.style {} that's overriding my code.
I've searched my CSS file for element.style and for 597px and 794px and I don't get hits on any of them.
What is this, and why does it have the values that it has?

element.style is a part of your browser devtools that indicates the inline style of the element which has a higher specificity value than any CSS selectors.
That inline styles may be added by a JavaScript code, if so, you can override that declarations by using !important keyword within your stylesheet (e.g. left: 610px !important).
element.style refers to inline styles on the dom element. For example:
<p>Foo</p>the color of that paragraph would show up under element.style.
You can fix with your css by doing this:
#popUpDiv[style]{ left:610px !important; top:0px !important;

That's probably manipulated and set by javascript (either that or you edited the element.style{} rule yourselves on the developer tools console).
Look for javascript code that changes the display, top and left properties of #popupDiv
It is the style that you have in the HTML file. try to delete or change the style in HTML.
