Your subject line suggest that this behavior is "fuggered" (presumably
a portmanteau of "fucked" and "buggered").

How did what Oracle provided fail to meet your needs?

A self-extracting archive binary such as the one you downloaded is
typically an executable that extracts and runs.  This is a convenience
for most.  It is the designed behavior.  You can use it on multiple
(identical) PCs with Centos installed just fine, so it should suit
your purposes.  That is neither fucked nor buggered.

You might find an extrinsic unpacker would explode the self-extracting
RPM into its constituents somewhere in your "/bin/" or "/usr/bin/"
trees.
