Wonder is it an infection ? Ie a bad one

I'd say LE might be right. I've had this on stored yeast before, albeit in a plastic container.

The yeast was unusable.

Was it a thin waxy film? If so, some of us have experienced this on cider. It might be a bit late, but you could try extracting the yeast from the bottom.

And then acid wash it as these film yeasts don't like the acid "up-them captain Mainwaring"

You could use a pipette or similar, maybe gently siphon from the bottom.
