Looks like the screw is made of poor quality metal and it corroded

I’ve had this happen with cheap pens before, it’s definitely corrosion. It doesn’t harm the pen function but if you don’t like the look you can replace it with a nylon screw which won’t react to ink.
It looks like corroded metal, maybe?
Thanks everyone! I'll rescue the pen now knowing that it's not harmful!
