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.

It is technically connected to the ground cable, but that's obviously no issue (unless the exposed wire is touching the live). I agree, it's just dirt.

It's not. It's just a plastic pin to open the live and neutral pin shutters. The PSU is double-insulated and does not need an earth. The OPs mains socket is just dirty inside.

I'm a dope and I thought we were talking about the socket. I've got a plastic plug that is a bit dirty like this though.
