I'd say at best (and likely) a botched install, at worst something more
malicious.

I'd run "rpm -Va" and examine the output.  Anything it shows in the
output is something that differs from what should be installed and what
actually is.  See the rpm man page for details.

Run yum reinstall for any package that appears to have issues.

It should still be fine to run yum reinstall on a package, unless the
customer has actually done something to rely on the brokenness of the
system.

/etc/init.d is supposed to be a symbolic link to /etc/rc.d/init.d, if
they're not then you need to fix that, and before you fix that you'll
need to move any scripts you put inside it to /etc/rc.d.init.d.  The
damage you're seeing here is because they have somehow become separate
directories on the server.

I would not call that stable, I can just about guarantee that it will
have problems down the road if you keep running it in this state.
