I think the last three lines are not problematic but in /dev/shm/r I found:

spawn /bin/bash
interact

Do I have reason to be worried?

Yes, that's a typical location for intruders to drop files. Easiest thing to do is reinstall after thinking about how the compromise may have occurred. (Did you update regularly, including kernel updates? Did all accounts have strong passwords? Do you have web applications not managed by the system that weren't being updated? etc.)
