This is not the first time but many times I've encountered this problem. There is no 'edit' option below the question as it usually is. Here's the screenshot:

What might be the reason for this?

    $\begingroup$ From the FAQ on Meta SE, probably the post has a pending suggested edit that has not been reviewed yet (see point no. 4). $\endgroup$

As @Brahadeesh notes, the question already had a pending suggested edit, which can be seen from the question's timeline:

You would have been able to see the pending edit if you switch to the responsive mode with the 'full site' link at the bottom of the page.

    $\begingroup$ @SarGe according to meta.stackexchange.com/q/161023/295232 this is by design. I don't really understand, but the mobile version of the site isn't actively maintained anymore. $\endgroup$
