Drive shaft movement - problem?

92 Cherokee Limited
160k+ miles

Decided to do preventative troubleshooting, found this.
Done searches, and nothing's explicit enough to match.

Video shows exactly what it is I'm talking about.

Do I have a problem, and what do I need to do to fix it if I do?

Oh, the rear shaft has no movement. Did make sure of that as well.
