The J-40 was introduced in 1971 which is the same year Gibson started using the double X bracing in their guitars. They do have a pinless bridge. You still see this type of bridge used today on various guitars.

Monetary value is, I am sorry to say, not all that high. But the heck with that - the sentimetal value is far more important. I would take it to a decent repair guy and see what he says. Might just need an adjustment or it could require a neck reset.
