Did you install an old plugin like Sigcheck ? Else i can not see how you got such files, as they do not realy belong to core system.

Iff they are from old plugin (2006) coding of the inner files can be such that newerphp versions trigger such warnings.. To be sure.. delete the plugin (sorry)

Answer 1

Please backup the files and delete them. It is likely they are placed there by an old plugin.
If you want, I can take a closer look at the files to determine whether they are in fact malicious or not.
