Although I've said such, the terms are not actually that clear cut. Most
object-oriented languages also have a for-loop, while-loop, and
if-conditional of a structured programming. And not all object-oriented
languages have classes (e.g. javascript).
There is a lot of overlap in programming paradigms.
Javascript is an example of prototype-based object-oriented programming. Other
examples include Lua and Flash.

Class-based object-oriented programming and prototype-based ("classless")
object-oriented programming are both sub-types of OOP. There's no reason you
can't have both: Javascript has now introduced classes, and Python can support
prototypes:
