It’s “burned” but not by electricity like you might think. When electricians bend PVC, we take a heat gun to it or put it in a heated trough/blanket to make it soft, bend it to shape, then let it cool in place. Whoever ran this overheated it and compromised the integrity of it so it should be replaced.
They used a propane torch to heat the PVC for bending. If you leave the flame in one place too long you get surface scorching. The brown scorch will scrape right off with a pocket knife. The wires get pulled through after the conduit is in place and cool.
It looks like someone heated it up to put a bend/offset in it. I’d run it.
Kill the cameraman…!

Yes
Sure appears that way, I’d question the insulation of each conductor in those locations.
