So, for some reason the json that is stored in the DB is being partially decoded, which is odd.

This value in the DB is obviously a json srting

[{"title":"Slider 47","image":{"attachment_id":"1653"}},{"title":"Image-1","image":{"attachment_id":"1652"}},{"title":"Image-2","image":{"attachment_id":"1651"}},{"title":"Image-3","image":{"attachment_id":"1650"}},{"title":"Image-4","image":{"attachment_id":"1649"}},{"title":"Image-5","image":{"attachment_id":"1648"}}]

But I don’t know why your query would be returning the decoded value or why the value of the slides index would appear to still be a json value.

You might want to try

foreach ($slider_data as $slide) {
  $attachments = json_decode($slide['slides'], true);
  if ($attachments) {
    foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
      $value = $attachment['attachment_id'];
    }
  }
}
