You'd think so, but in fact it's legit.  Per Richter, "Wiring
Simplified":  "Underground wiring is by using conduit, or special cables 
designed for direct burial [...] Underwriter's type USE cable is
designed to be buried directly in the ground without further
protection."

USE stands for, I think, "underground service entrance", which
is what you got.

I'll stick with my overhead service feed, thank you :)
