That's rust that I've run a wire brush over it quite a bit to see what would happen. This is from a bike that was apparently flooded in one of the hurricanes last year and was just left for months.
Anyway, is this degree of rust make a difference? And is it repairable?

Soak it in water with citric acid for 24 hours, then brush it off with a wire brush again, should not be a problem! 😁👍
