Just now a very strange thing happened that has never happened to me, basically a user that I don't even know wanted to add me as a friend, obviously I don't add people I don't know and therefore declined and blocked.

But when I go to look in the blocked list it says "[Delete]" and then "Unable to find the specified profile." but how is this possible?

I mean likely they ended up getting banned for sending thousands of invites and triggered a flag which lead to an acc deletion. Alternatively they might have changed their profile url although I don't know if that would make them show as invalid in your block list since there should still be a reference to whatever that was originally.

It's the first time this has happened to me, I'm a person who never accepts random friend requests, I also went to see the profile link and when I put it in the Google bar it turns out that it doesn't exist and it tells me the same thing I wrote above.

Don't worry, even if you accept some stranger there is no danger. At most they will see your privated friends only stuff if you don't make it public.

Good, But there is no danger in that because as I said I almost never accept anyone, and before accepting I see who it is and if I know him otherwise I immediately decline as I did with this person, and obviously I never click on strange links even if I almost never accept anyone.

There are many dangers. The account can change all the profile to impersonate another friend, for example.

We're not talking about having his account invaded. I'm talking about accepting a friend request. Having someone as a friend does not allow that person to do anything to your profile or your friends.

You can impersonate profiles without adding them as friends anyway.

So I did the right thing by setting the friends to private.
