Pitting on baseplate - still use?

Think this filter is still okay to use? I am guessing so. It's about a year old, for my 2019 Renegade. Made in France, forgot who made it, but it's labeled as a Mopar one. There's some pitting on the base plate - see the brown area. Then a little bit a glue on the edge, but I'm not worried about that.
Thanks!

What Vern said. What you've shown is on the dirty side of the filter. Wipe any rust and glue off if you want. Worst case the glue could break loose and block the ADBV.
 
Looks more like base seam glue to me, not rust. If it was rust I think there would be rust in other areas too.
