PowerBook 180c, a very aggressive mold

I have a 5300ce with this same condition. I have it stored on the shelf with the rest of my powerbooks. I always assumed this was a contamination that got on the display, like a solvent. Is this something that I should be concerned could "infect" my other powerbooks? My plan was to source another display, maybe I should deal with it sooner then later?

i guess that it’s better and more fun to source the replacement polarizer and fix yourself

Plus, with these LCDs no longer being made, finding unaffected replacements is going to be come increasingly difficult and expensive, to the point where replacing the polarizer is worth the inconvenience.
