SN74HC74: The initial Q value of SN74HC74 after power-on?

Part Number: SN74HC74

Tool/software:

The value of Q0 indicates that the output status of the chip purchased in 2022 was definitely low when it was just powered on, but the output status of the 2024 batch is now uncertain.

1.Has there been any change to the chip? Why does this phenomenon occur?

2. How is the initial output state of the chip determined when powered on?

3. How can this problem be solved in terms of hardware or software?
