I cant see much reason in such packets, since they wont give any feedback.
sport 80 is obviously to bypass some firewalls.
But if he doesnt get feedback only 2 reasons pop into mind:
- an attack similar to the worm , but the random ports don't make sense then
- a very badly configured and/or broken piece of software/hadware.
