Totally "loose contact-prone" cheap junk I would have named it.
Look like the scrap TED sockets in many C16's.
You're right with that. ICs with pin headers usually need an intermediate socket.
Standard pin headers are bad for sockets. Too thick. I mostly use flat pins made of "long leg female headers". Occasionally I use round pin headers which are much thinner than square pin headers.
