Historical Note on Solutions to Diophantine Equation $x \paren {x + 1} = y \paren {y + 5} \paren {y + 10} \paren {y + 15}$

According to David Wells in his Curious and Interesting Numbers, 2nd ed. of $1997$, this result appeared in Acta Arithmetica on page $194$ of volume $7$.

However, this contributor has tried to identify the article in question, and it appears to have nothing to do with the theorem discussed here.
