You can probably bust open a dried one to see what kind of bean! Just be careful because I think some have to dry and then be cooked before you eat (if it’s those types of beans).

As a general rule most legumes (family fabaceae) are not edible. In particular the majority of wild legumes in North America tend to be toxic to ingest. That said, the texture of the leaves in combination with the appearance of the beans suggest that these are a variaty of edible common green bean or “pole bean”, phaseolus vulgaris.
They’re past their prime for eating but let the pods mature and dry on the vine, then pick them when brown and dry to the touch and store the seeds for next season. I wouldn’t be doing my due diligence if I didn’t also suggest that in the meantime you read up on identification of the different cultivars and hybrids of p. vulgaris and any inedible or toxic lookalikes that may be present in your region just to be on the safe side. In my opinion you can’t be too safe when identifying legumes.

They came out of nowhere in a planter with a pole for them to climb in exactly the right place?

In the spring it’s common to plant together “the three sisters” sweet corn, pole beans, and yellow squash.
