Purchased an A1989 MacBook Pro back in 2019. Have been using it ever since as a daily driver. Noticed unusual colour gradients this morning as per the photo. Has my computer succumbed to the dreaded Flexgate issue?

EDIT: A number of users suggested that this effect rises from the colour banding present within Apple's wallpaper that comes prepackaged with MacOS Sonoma.

After capturing a screensnip, I can confirm that this effect is generated by the launchpad screen overlaying the colour banding in the wallpaper.
