HTMLImageElement: y property - Web APIs | MDN

Value

An integer value indicating the distance in pixels from the top edge of the element's nearest root element to the top edge of the <img> element's border box. The nearest root element is the outermost <html> element that contains the image. If the image is in an <iframe>, its y is relative to that frame.

In the diagram below, the top border edge is the top edge of the blue padding area. So the value returned by y would be the distance from that point to the top edge of the content area.
