Can those containers hold hundreds of pounds of... anything?
Yes, that's why they use them.
it couldn’t hold hundreds of pounds of air… or of hydrofluoric acid
Those particular drums are usually used for solids, but with a plastic liner inside they can be used for viscous liquids as well. I wouldn't fill one with a low viscosity liquid, you'd want a plastic or metal drum for that.
Those drums in the picture are really badly filled as well, I'd have rejected them if they'd turned up to the warehouse looking like that back when I was doing QA.
