Yeah, that kitchen is a builder special. Besides the ugly bonus floor stain there are some truly awful design elements. One boob light fixture, a cliche backsplash only installed behind the sink, cheap-o appliances, no pulls on the cabinets or drawers, and who doesn’t love those two pop-up (useless) cabinets above the micro?
With FOMO and desperation, sellers get away with murder these days.
I can't stop staring at the stupid light fixture now. It's oddly kind of beautiful.
It is a hot grease /oil spill from something once made in an oven within the same footprint. Heat and mass of liquid spilled melted the laminate thoroughly to adhered underlayer. Note the strait edge corresponds to about where the oven door, when open, would provide an open seam where said liquid would pool, and the residual path toward the refrigerator post pooling like hot lava then left a diminishing melt in the pattern moving to the left toward the refrigerator.
Or it may be a dropped cleaning cloth that was used in wiping down areas of the kitchen that fell and no one noticed?
I think it is the former, and the photographer and editor both missed it, or thought it would divert attention from the low end cabinet choice.

But -- but -- but -- it has STAINLESS APPLIANCES!! Doesn't that make up for everything?!
(Seriously, I can't believe they POSTED A PICTURE like that!)
It looks like something burned the flooring or tore the flooring. That looks like it is LVP flooring, so the repair is cheap and easy, as long as you can find matching flooring.
It would be a good negotiating point.
The real estate photographers don't care what is there, they just stand there and shoot the photo and won't bestir themselves to close a door or close the toilet lid, or move garbage that is in the picture. Although, to be fair, there is no angle to shoot that photo where the damage wouldn't show, so might as well warn the buyers about it.

darkened bbq sauce spill or a tree icon.
if a spill I would've photoshopped it out.
Like a buyer would miss it when they got there?
I understand wanting the place to look pretty in pictures, but photoshopping out obvious flaws leads to people being disappointed or feeling cheated when they get there. Especially if it's the kind of buyer not interested in replacing the floor. And you don't want that.
The right thing to do is to show it as it really is, not hide it. Some photoshopping is actually against the MLS rules. This is a terrific picture, any buyer is going in expecting what they get. That's how it should be.

I can’t find it now, but yesterday I saw an on-line listing - beautiful home, golf course subdivision, professionally decorated. A pair of men’s tennis shoes were propped up against the legs of a dining room chair. Verrry strange.

Sure looks like it! Those cabinets are from the 70s, imo. I was wondering about the way-high cabinets above the micro. If you are 7' tall, lol. I've seen so much of that particular backsplash, I'm sick of it. And still the relentless granite countertops....and is it common to put laminate wood in the kitchen?!

Our realtor used a photographer who did care what was there. For example, we had cleared off all but a few things on the kitchen counter. She temporarily moved them to the laundry room. Our finished basement just had a leather chair and a TV in one corner. She took a photo that left them out. So, before she photographed anything, she would look around the room first.
