Typical scale used in doctors' offices athletic facility. It has a bar on top for measuring height.
The whole unit is referred to as "a scale". If any part of the unit including the measuring for height parts are broken someone will just say that the scale is broken, regardless of which part was broken. So hence his statement the scale is broken, can be expanded to say that the measuring part of the scale is broken, which no one would use in normal conversation.
