looks like the flange is broken. Start by cleaning up all the debris around it and then if the flange is broken get a repair flange and install it.
2X on the no caulk. That way in the event the wax ring does fail at some point down the road, you'll know about it, maybe, before it damages the floor.
I said that a few years ago and Frodo corrected me. It is actually in the code to caulk the toilet and the base of a pedestal sink, who knew, I have ever seen it.Neither. there is no need to caulk the toilet to the floor.
They leave an inch in the back unsealed. But the leak usually shows up in the lower ceiling even with out caulk.How would you ever know if the toilet seal was leaking when you caulk the toilet to the floor. It will keep all the water under the toilet and rot your flooring.

If you can get the bolts to stand up you don't need them. It is just to get the bolts to align with the holes in the toilet. Usually the wax ring does that job.
