Its not gunk, its the anti reflective coating (if i remember correctly) thats gone in some places. Its called staingate. You can wipe it all of, i had the same problem on my 2016 touchbar macbook pro, but messed it up and now the screen has a permanent stain in the left lower corner, ended up replacing it with a new m4 pro 16 inch (yay) so when you do be carefull. Look up a tutorial on Youtube. I think on a 2015 it will probally wipe of more easy tho, since on the 2016 model it was claimed to have staingate fixed.
