Wow. I don’t remember having a board-mount retention mechanism for a CPU cooler before like LGA 775, but maybe such a thing existed for socket 7. Are there four holes in a rectangle around the socket?
The first board mount (actually through-board case mount) I recall seeing were HP socket 478. That horror-show of a socket also saw many plastic retention clip implementations that had a tendency to get brittle and crack. Socket 423 (which came before) had the same plastic junk mounts.

Nope, just the socket and its broken off tabs. The socket is soldered to the motherboard too.
