Is my AiO block getting eaten by corrosion? (feddit.org)

Today I was testing the RAM of a friend in my PC and since I had it opened up anyway, I thought I could renew my thermal paste as well. When removing the block from the CPU, I saw this:

Small hole with green and white corrosion
Big blob of white corrosion

To me, this looks like corrosion. The AiO is roughly 6 years old, so it's nearing its end of life anyway, but is that normal? Should I still use this?

Thanks for any advice.

Can't beat my NH-D15. Air coolers reign supreme, with proper case flow
