Heh. You're not the only one, I've been like this as long as I can remember, too. I get approached and asked for directions, timetables, random facts etc all the time.

When I go abroad on holiday, it's the same, even if I don't speak the language and feel like a tourist not blending in.
As for why, I have no clue either. :) I realise that I must look approachable, non-scary, and as you say, knowledgeable, but other than that, I have no idea. I am going to adopt your idea of having a superpower, though. Mwahaha. SmartiePantsWoman. Or something.
Oh, Good! We should start a very exclusive club, and only people who are mistaken for members can join! (I won't think about the logic of that sentence...)
