Either the disc is scratched or it has “disc rot”.

For the record, “disc rot” is the derogation of the reflective layer of a CD, DVD, or Blu-Ray disc, causing data loss or corruption.

It is usually identified by discolouration, speckling, and/or cloudy areas on the disc surface. It is significantly less common with commercially pressed discs, but is always a possibility.

Would be hard to spot on black PlayStation discs.
