It looks a bit "spotted". Is that normal or need I do something about it?

Not a cast iron specialist at all, but just recently steel wool'd and reseasoned my own inherited cast iron that had a bunch of carbon build up.
This looks fine.
If it's anything like mine, those are just the carbon build up parts that's didn't let go before the last seasoning.
Just keep cooking with fats and it should be fine.
