Possibly Very Dumb Boiled Egg Question

I usually boil a big batch of eggs for my workweek. Usually I boil them so that the yolk is a soft yellow, but not so much that it's dried out or has a "ring". Don't know what I did differently, but my latest batch came out slightly underdone (didn't notice until breakfast the next day). I'd say my usual is the 13 minute egg and my latest batch is like the 9 minute egg in this picture:

If I weren't keeping these for another 5 or 6 days to eat I'd probably not think twice, but do you think there's any harm in eating this batch next week? Or this is what a hard boiled egg is "supposed" to look like and I'm totally clear?

    I make boiled eggs that look like the 9 minute egg all the time and they keep fine in the fridge.
    next week - ie in about 5 days time - would be fine.

    I only ever cook my eggs for 10 minutes and nothing terrible has happened because of it.

    Same here. Haven't had any problems with it.
