Because it's only about 6% above the MTOW. Within the design limits.
You'd be surprised how many commercial jets every day technically take off beyond their maximum weights. Airlines use "standard" weights for passengers. If a few of these are above the "standard" (87kg for example) then you could technically be above max weight. Same goes for "standard" hand luggage.
