Incorrect POS tag for `hers`? #479

In the following sentence, I believe the XPOS on hers should be PRP$:

# sent_id = answers-20111108093211AA8bYFE_ans-0002

PRP is correct I think. See bottom row of the table at https://universaldependencies.org/en/pos/PRON.html

Huh, that's really weird to me. I always thought of PRP$ as possessive pronoun, not a subcategory of those.
