What does "Short Circuit Output Current" mean? Does it mean that the voltage output will be to 0V at this specified current? So what would be the maximum current sourced without having a large impact on the voltage output? There is no graphic, it would be nice to have the voltage output in function of the load!
Here is the datasheet: https://datasheet.octopart.com/FAN4174IS5X-Fairchild-Semiconductor-datasheet-8824583.pdf
Thank you very much and have a nice day!

These are Rail-to-Rail I/O, CMOS Amplifiers.
Datasheet indicates Vs=5V. In this context, short-circuit implies operating the CMOS FET outputs with RdsOn at any output voltage rail to rail.
Thus +/-33 mA means RdsOn = 5V/33mA = 150 Ohms typical equivalent resistance. This affects the output rise time for step pulses into a know C load. However when not shorted, Zout is reduced by feedback gain in linear mode.

proof by Simulation
Using KVL as follows;

Only in 3.6V logic do they make lower RdsOn =25 Ohms +/50% in order to shoot-thru and yet have high speed.
