This could be fixed by deleting and restoring the file, so it was still present on the server. It is also a recurring error (cf. this thread).

See also T238695 where undeletion apparently did not solve the problem. While the media player is present in the preview, the underlying sound file still seems to be missing now.

Apparently the upload process is also affected by this bug. While patrolling new files at Commons I just found https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hanshin_Amagasaki_Station220326.jpg which did not have any visible image content but just the description page although the upload log seemed to be valid. Deleting and undeleting fixed the display though.

This particular image was deleted within 2 mins of uploading. That puts it in a timeframe where any level of database or data storage lag due to a minor disruption in the website could have caused the user reviewing to not see the image. It doesn't seem very concerning. The original case however had 7 years between the upload and delete to regenerate, which is indeed concerning, but probably difficult to investigate so much later. We also know that several bugs were in play back then, most of which have since been fixed.
Therefor closing, and new cases can create new tickets, hopefully with more detailed investigations.
