I pressed it, it said 'choose quality for download' or something, and I set it at 720p. I didn't press download because I didn't actually want to download the playlist. Next time I will though, but I bet it'll say I need YouTube red...
No, that is for premium content. Downloading is only dependent on the publisher allowing it.

Yeah, that's why I said 'it'll probably say I need YouTube red', and also that still doesn't explain why it's there just sometimes.
The download button isn't for youtube red. If the publisher of the video has specifically enabled downloading for the video you can download it and the button shows up. If they heven't, then you can'd download it and the button doesn't show up. It is unrelated to Red
