I'm having an issue with previously developed images in LR showing weird colors that weren't there before, and I'm not sure what happened or how to correct this - hoping someone can help direct me to a solution.
I opened up LR the other day to import some images, noticed a few of the imported images looked odd, and opened another image I had previously developed to see what it looked like, and I noticed what almost looks like noise but isn't, just weird coloration. I did a monitor calibration (actually, a few of them) and no change. I checked the same images that I had previously exported in a folder on my desktop, and those looked fine. I then exported the images to PS, and they look normal there. So, somehow, some display settings were changed unbeknownst to me. I have checked numerous developed images and they all display a similar look. They definitely did not look this way last week, and I did not develop them to look this way.
I'm including screenshots of an image to illustrate. Can anyone help me with how to correct this?

I wonder if the upgrade to macOS Sierra had anything to do with it?
Probably. Color Management in any pre-6/CC version of Lightroom doesn't work correctly under Sierra. There has been a lot of threads with similar screenshots, and this seems to be 100% consistent. But nobody ever said anything officially.
Apparently what's happened here is that Apple dropped support for an API or framework used by these earlier Lightroom versions.
From Lightroom 6 and CC everything works normally

Are the affected areas always in shadow?

Yes, as far as I can tell it's only affecting shadow areas.

Which exact version of LR?
Mac or Windows? Which version?
Are you seeing this in the Develop module or the Library module?

On a Macbook Pro, using LR3 and I have only noticed it in the Develop module.

Thanks D Fosse for letting me know. Guess it's time to finally pony up! Odd that it only affects images in the LR Develop module though.
