OK....
You have an unmodified ~/.bash_profile and a slightly different
~/.bashrc from my fresh install. The differences are not significant.
The bottom line is that in ~/.bashrc you have
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
Which should source the file. The place where the setting of PS1 takes
place is here....

Basically it is saying.... if PS1 is set to '\s-\v\$ ' change it to
'[\u@\h \W]\$ ' .
So, it would seem, one of 2 things are going on. Either the file isn't
being sourced or it isn't set as expected.
What I would do is modify /etc/bashrc to ....
shopt -s checkwinsize
echo "PS1 is set to $PS1" > /tmp/huh
[ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ] && PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "
And then perform an su -.
