Should not be like that. It was either never tightened or has backed off. From the look of the exposed threads, I would say it has been like that for quite a while.

I suspect it was cross threaded going in and jammed, so the installer just left it.

Definitely not normal. Pull the bolt out, clean the threads with a tap and install a new bolt.

That looks like one of the bolts holding your starter in. "I" would not leave it like that.
