The post with the random numbers (the one referenced in the OP) is a dummy post by a dummy account. There are a random number of these in each page of each thread that are hidden if you are using most browsers. The purpose of these posts is to confuse ad blockers so they can't block the forum's ads. It is not a banned account, nor an anonymous account.
If you are looking at google cashed versions of threads, you will sometimes see these posts. You will also run across these posts if you are scraping threads.

Big thanks for you @Pffrt @Findingnemo @Bttzed03 @DdmrDdmr for helping me, I was trying to search with "anonym" keyword in the search button, but I didn't find it.
Ah yeah, I think it's a different case. The users 1507417046 and 15305661590 actually thats account named by themselves , because the numerical number of ID users and the username is not same. Maybe the person curious what the forum will if registered an account.
Sure, here profile the link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1580553347
As to the second case, it beats me. I’ve searched through and old BD containing all forum profiles, used google, and the forum search, and was unable to come up with the case. There are other accounts created with a similar numerical username (i.e. 1507417046 and 15305661590 ), but they do not present the weird post count number and so on.

On the second case. How did you get that member profile?
I tried searching but it returns zero results. Is it possible for you to share the profile link here?

The former case should fit into the category of those that asked for their profile to be anonymized from the early days. I don’t know if that is still doable nowadays (from a will’s perspective, rather than a technical one). If I’m not wrong, recently I read that we all have out username with which we login, and a display name, which for the vast majority is equal to the login username. Perhaps the "Anonymous" username we see in the first image is technically a change of the displayed name.

When you see old stuffs like this, it's likely that it has been discussed before. Topics like this are usually discussed in Meta board. The best way to get answers sometimes is using the forum's search bar. If you did that you will probably get this result also “Anonymous “ posting query? Forum History. By reading the comments, you will find the answer
As you can see here, I only change the username to "Anonymous" on request.

Deleting accounts doesn't mess up any threads, like this thread. It just changes to anonymous, with no profile information. Post stays intact.
As you can see here, I only change the username to "Anonymous" on request.
Also, I found the users only named by the number of the post. I clicked the username, but an error has occurred
It's a post from the banned users? so we cannot see all the post from him? or this is a bug in the old system?
When bitcointalk users got banned there won't be any effect on their post history,all of them will be available but it won't have any signature under it...It's a post from the banned users? so we cannot see all the post from him? or this is a bug in the old system?
I checked for the username you talking about on BPIP but didn't get any result so these users are from early bitcointalk and they might be requested admin to change their account status?
Back in the day, people were allowed to post without registration. These who have posted then time without registration are tagged as Anonymous user. Now that's not allowed anymore.
I don't know about the second of your question. You can access all available post of banned users. This is something else.

When I read old topic I submitted the Bitcoin project to Free Talk Live in Bitcoin Discussion, I found some post from anyonymity users in this forum. Why the Anonymous user ( Guest ) can make a thread and post in this forum? because Guest didn't allowed to make thread and post, only can read the members thread.
Also, I found the users only named by the number of the post. I clicked the username, but an error has occurred
