To reproduce:
1. Open the project attached "616073-201830f2-prefab-save.zip", scve
2. In Hierarcy window, sleect GameObject
3. In Inspector window, drag "Main Camera" to Obj property field in Test Prefab Component, apply prefab override
4. Enter Play mode, modify the value of 'Age' and click SaveAsPrefabAssetAndConnect

Resolution Note (2019.2.X):
This is by design. A Prefab asset cannot save references to Scene objects but it is valid for an Prefab instance to have a reference to other Scene objects. Note that the blue line in the Inspector stays even after Apply All has been executed (it is still marked as as an override since the value could not be saved to the Prefab).
