Yeah, we used to call this the "Herringbone Pattern" back in the day. You'd get it on some discs. It's a manufacturing fault in the actual disc, and was always grounds for an exchange. Sometimes you'd have to go through a couple of exchanges before you got a good copy.
That being said, a Laserdisc player with a misaligned laser would display this fault even on good discs...
Yes, I think it's alright as I haven't noticed it on any other discs but I just wanted to be extra sure. The "Herringbone Pattern" makes a lot of sense as that's very much what it looks like.
