my cams all have off center points on the lobe, should I be worried

this pic kind of shows it pretty well, the discolored area is a sharp point on the cam lobe. All of them have this, is it stock? or odd wear?

when running, there is a lot of top end noise from this motor. I don't think the valves have been adjusted within 100,000 miles, maybe not ever. this is an 85 617
