It is much more likely that someone has screwed up your system. I think even CentOS 4 had shadow as 400. And what on earth would the point be in having a world-readable shadow file?!? The whole point of having a shadow file is to keep password hashes out of /etc/passwd so that people can't read it. It would be nonsensical to then make the shadow file readable.
