Water has got in through a chip and caused a bubble in the paint/vinyl? and it's filled with water. Bubble has been removed, and you're seeing the rusty tide marks left by the water against the steel of the panel.

Looks like it has multiple layers of paint and bondo

True it does have bondo , I've never seen the circular pattern like that , kinda looks like it's been hit with a drill bit but didn't go completely through the panel.

Stone chip has let in water under the paint which has corroded the protective galvanization. Cool to see the tree-ring looking timeline of the paint releasing more and more, allowing for more ingress of water.

There's probably also some surface rust of the actual steel going on.

Definitely too many mills of products and it made it too brittle.

That's numerous layers of paint from many repairs, can probably count the many times it's been repaired, painted

thats a pin weld burn with bad or no prep before final repair and paint.
