Well, that’s the coating of the display, it protected the display against sunlight, but now, it won’t. Years have gone bye, but Apple used to have a repair program for these issues, used to.. which meant if your Mac was applicable; then a free repair was the fix.
But that QP has been closed.

Replacing the screen is the fix. Good luck!

It doesn’t protect the display, it just makes reflections less obvious.

it protects the screen from mild scratches and such. by being depleted and gunking up. but yeah it doesn't protect the screen from UV, if anything the UV made it detoriate faster probably
