That appears to be scuff marks. Perhaps something rubbed into the spine and left a mark or the cloth is starting to deteriorate and left marks when something rubbed into it.

CAUTION: External Email. Proceed Responsibly. Looks like the picture didn't attach- hopefully it goes through this time! (The color is coming off too when brushed.)

Most of it came away when I brushed at it gently with a cloth- I'm presuming it's dust, but I figured I should double-check if I'm mistaken and it's mold. I've attached a picture for reference- if anyone has any tips for what I should be looking for that can't be conveyed via still image, I'd appreciate that too! Either way, I'm prioritizing the scroll inside for rehousing- the case has got somewhat of a funky smell to it.
