I mean pure javascript client that uses HTML5 sockets and doesn’t need to be installed, just open single js file in browser. Is it possible to write such client at all?

No.
JavaScript in the browser does not have raw TCP/IP socket support.
It would be possible to create an ssh client using some server-side technology to proxy the connection, and then do the client using JS. But of course for this you would require a server (like node or whatever)
