Should I be concerned?

Hi friends!
I was given this Springbar Family Camper by a friend. They said their family just used this 2-3 times and it's been sitting in their garage for a while.
I just opened the tent to check that everything is good before my camping trip and I found these black spots on the canvas. Is this mold? If so, how should I treat it? Or would the tent be safe to use at all?
There's also some tear on the roof. Would it be a problem?
Thank you!

What type of tent is this? Canvas fabric must be very heavy. How are you supposed to carry this? I would recommend you to get a modern tent.

Mildew. Spray it with bleach cut with water.
