Those are the codes to position the cursor and set colors.  Make sure
the TERM variable is set correctly, especially if you are running
remotely via ssh or telnet.  If you are capturing top output in a file,
use "top -b".

I've just found a solution :
echo 'alias top="TERM=vt100 top"' >> ~/.bash_profile

no (position ends with "H", and colors with "m").

It looks like the enquire string for a VT100.
(If we knew what terminal he's actually using, that would help).
