I think it was dirty and an angle but I would have not wanted the floor called if I had been the young guy because by rule he could have himself faced a warning or penalty for exposing his cards while action was pending. According to your description bearded fellow had not called or folded at the time the young guy exposed his cards and therefore his action was still pending.

TDA rule 63: Exposing Cards and Proper Folding
A player who exposes his cards with action pending may incur a penalty, but will not have a dead hand.
The penalty will begin at the end of the hand. When folding, cards should be pushed forward low to the
table, not deliberately exposed or tossed high (“helicoptered”). See also Rule 61.

I doubt the floor because of the angle would have enforced a penalty on the young guy but he could easily do so. I think the dealer should have immediately called the floor to sort this out but again if I am in the young guy's seat I would have done what he did just rake the pot and know that the bearded guy is capable of some dirty angles and beware. I would also pay close attention to the dealer I think it was a mistake not to call the floor and would watch for other mistakes he or she may inadvertently make in the future. ( I am naturally pretty paranoid when it comes to pot counting from dealers and other technical things they do in tournaments).
