Yes, it's typical for a CPU with a 12th-gen architecture to last around a year under regular use. The motherboard connector appears to be in good condition.

This type of discoloration is actually fairly common, I've handled a few CPUs with this. If the CPU is functioning properly, you have nothing to worry about.

An @Fasauceome shared that they experienced this on several CPUs and everything functioned smoothly.

I haven't observed any specific processors yet. Could you share the details you're referring to?

Several 4th generation Intel chips were widely available, including the 4570 and similar models. Also found on some coffee Lake CPUs.

I have roughly half of my old Intel chips that are still working fine, with one spot remaining similar to the others. This particular chip, the 6600k, is the only one I still have that looks alike and functions properly. You might want to gently clean it using alcohol at least 91% strong to see if it improves or fades. It's a hidden area and doesn't impact performance, so leave it alone unless necessary. If it's not broken, don't try to fix it.
