I accidentally opened my library in an older version.
I mistakenly opened calibre.exe instead of calibre-portable.exe of 3.48, and it read from the appdata folder instead of the portable settings. It tried to load my library, but stalled on a white screen and I had to kill the process.

Nothing seems amiss when I re-opened the library in 5.xx, and there's no errors when I use Check Library.

Is there anything else I should do?

Given that 5.x says your library is OK, I'd not worry. However, I would replace 3.48 with 4.23 if you need an older version for some reason.

opening libraries in an older version will not damage them, it just may not work.
