I’ve never used one but is it aluminum? Could be oxidation

Basically, no. Unless you left it wet sitting unused for weeks in a cabinet or something, it would be impossible for mold to grow on bare metal that is being boiled every day. Could be either oxidation, residue from the coffee, or scale build up from hard water. Clean it out with barkeepers friend and see how it looks

if it rubs off on a napkin it's mold. it's not going to make you sick but you should clean it for the flavor of the coffee.

Probably some mineral deposits from your water reacting to the pot
