No one can read this kind of minified gibberish. What's more, it's not possible to convert it back into something readable. Indentation can be restored, but variable names are gone, and comments are gone. Not only that, even the structure of the program is sometimes tampered with, and that might be less clear than what is in the actual source code.

So yes, this is JavaScript code, but no, it's not source code. The definition of "source code" has nothing to do with the format and everything to do with whether it's actually suitable for studying and changing the program.
