Your pictures are coming up really small so it is hard to say 100% for certain. But this I believe is a Generation 2 slab WITHOUT the inner holder. With those slabs there is two sheets of mylar over the book and the book is held in place by the pressure of the outer holder
These slabs without inner holders were much more prone to what is called Newton rings or the Prism effect. Where the two sheets of plastic touch, an oil on water visual effect happens. While unslighlty if extreme, this in no way hurts the book
More of a concern is uneven pressure (the spine of a comic is slightly thicker than the outer edge) would often times cause waves in the book.
The good news is CGC will reholder these for free. Link

The slab has not been tampered with. One of the biggest improvements to the new slab it is impossible to open it without it being obvious. The slab is welded together all along the edges and removing the book results in a outer slab that is broken into multiple pieces.
Welcome to the boards.
