Joomla bug. Only visual. The database itself is just fine.

You're welcome! I am working around this Joomla bug in version 7.9.1 by deleting the older database update file from the 7.4.x version. Hopefully Joomla will fix this bug before I die of old age; this bug has been there for at least 10 years...
