I see hubs w/caged bearings all the time. Probably is a function of the type of bike I'm most often overhauling.
I can't really tell what that piece is that came out.
It bothers me in the second photo to be able to look down the center of the freewheel and visualize the bearings. They normally are not visible like that from the outside.
The axle appears as if bent or possibly broken.
Habilis is right on. Someone needs to remove the freewheel and see what's up. A visit to a bike shop would be in order.
