That's "normal" wear due to the bars curvature at that point.
Little bit of rust there. Might want to rework the bar
(sand and paint) And make sure that's raggedy looking line
isn't a crack (unlikely, but...)

Remember, sometimes bushing look old because they are. :)
I found that replacing my otherwise "old" looking sway and track bar
bushings helped the handling a lot.
