I would be very interested to see a solution to this that doesn't require marking up the listings — triggered either by a comment in the source or a line number passed as an option in the listings setup...

The tikzmark library can be used here. Some parts are borrowed from this nice answer. UPDATE: No changes in the listing, as implicitly requested by Will Robertson.

Of course, that also works with external files. The good thing is that you do not need to put stuff in the code. (Of course, you need to know that you want to annotate line 8.) This gives the same output as above.

If you want to highlight several lines, you can make use of the -| syntax to draw the lines around extremal points. Alternatively, you could load the fit library. Here I present one simple example. And I would like to kindly ask you considering asking follow-up questions in case you have more requests.

Here is a method which uses fbox. You simply add this command around the line of code you want to highlight and it will draw a box around it.
However, I've actually used a modified version called mycfbox which allows you to change the colour (from How to draw a colored framebox without filling the background?).
You have to take some care with the ^ character, so I've added string before it to ensure it outputs correctly.
Remember, you need to enclose mycfboxred.... in the escapechar which I've set to ". You can change this if needed.
Updated: you need to enclose the fbox command in smash to remove the vertical space added around it. Additionally, you can control the line thickness of the box using fboxrule and you can control the size of the box using fboxsep.

This question is relatively close to fbox inside listings I merely used Martin Scharrer's answer and adapted it for the box coulouring with is other answer about fcolorbox<frame color><background color><text>.

end
end
end

If you want to highlight several lines, you can make use of the -| syntax to draw the lines around extremal points. Alternatively, you could load the fit library. Here I present one simple example. And I would like to kindly ask you considering asking follow-up questions in case you have more requests.

The tikzmark library can be used here. Some parts are borrowed from this nice answer. UPDATE: No changes in the listing, as implicitly requested by Will Robertson.

Of course, that also works with external files. The good thing is that you do not need to put stuff in the code. (Of course, you need to know that you want to annotate line 8.) This gives the same output as above.

I tried this solution but it does not work if I change documentclassarticle to documentclassbeamer. I know my MWE did not make any mention of beamer but I would really appreciate if you could provide solution for it.

Here is a method which uses fbox. You simply add this command around the line of code you want to highlight and it will draw a box around it.
However, I've actually used a modified version called mycfbox which allows you to change the colour (from How to draw a colored framebox without filling the background?).
You have to take some care with the ^ character, so I've added string before it to ensure it outputs correctly.
Remember, you need to enclose mycfboxred.... in the escapechar which I've set to ". You can change this if needed.
Updated: you need to enclose the fbox command in smash to remove the vertical space added around it. Additionally, you can control the line thickness of the box using fboxrule and you can control the size of the box using fboxsep.
