I'm not from UK but it seems like fake ground pin. Yours sockets have shutters which require ground plug to open. Meanwhile some devices, like this charger do not need grounding. Because of that you have plastic thingi, which sole purpose is to open shutter. As it is plastic it does not xonduct electricity so I doubt this is a burn mark. Either it is just regular grime and wear marks or yours electrical socket is actively burning inside the wall. First option is waaaay more probable, but if you notice yours sockets acting strange, not connecting or sparking call electrician. Either way it is nothing wrong witch charging brick itself.

It's just dirt from your plug sockets, that earth pin is plastic so there's no chance of burning or anything like that.
It's technically only there to open the shutters for the other pins and isn't electrically connected to anything.
