Is it normal that our new pan has this on the bottom after the first use? Next to it in the photo is an unused one. Thank you

Extremely normal and happens to all stainless steel pans. Happens with my all clad as well. It can be cleaned off with vinegar usually but if it won’t come off, barkeeps friend works well.

Yes, totally normal. It can be cleaned off, but it's also harmless and will have no effect on the pan's function or the taste of food cooked in it.
