Scary thing found on driveshaft..... 900

my center bearing has a slight hum so i have the car jacked up to see if i could grease it till i get the bearing and support.
i was tugging on the drive shaft checking u-joints and thought there was slight play in the rear joint but ended turning the attaching bolt and to my surprise it turned by hand,but to add further to the surprise all 4 bolts turned by hand.
they are only loose enough to turn but not enough to be sloppy.
i dont see any marks indicating that they'd ever been touched.the car's still in the air so it hasn't been driven yet,hopefully the slight intermittent take-off vibration will be gone.just something to check while in that area.thank god for lock nuts or the end of the driveshaft would have come off,no telling how long they've been loose.
