This is the original Shimano Altus RD-M310 on a bike I am rehabbing. Is this amount of side to side slop on the hanger bolt normal?
Rear Derailleur slop – is this normal?

Sure, it’s a cheap derailleur
Normal for a cheap derailleur
Totally normal. There’s a lot less on the high end stuff, but they can have that as well.
Make sure the bolt is all the way tightened but yeah if it’s old and or cheap that’s fairly normal.
Cheaper the derailleur the more “play” you get in them. It’s fine
OP—I just want to praise you for that rare video that clearly illustrated your question.

Hanger looks Bent, derailleur should Be completely straight and in LINE with cassette.
This is not gonna shift well.
On a related subject, judging by the extremely pointed teeth on the cassette, it’s totally worn out.
