Pathname of working directory isn't redunant.
There are multiple attributes of the working directory like creation time, name, pathname, etc.
Pathname is just one of them.

It is more specific to say "pathname of the working directory", you are right about that.
What I meant was: It is redundant in the sense that the pathname is the identifier of the working directory, and if I ask someone to identify something I will receive in answer an identifier.
I.e. If I were to ask a user at their computer "what is the current working directory?" and "what is the pathname of the current working directory?" I will get the same answer.
