Should I be concerned about this spot on the bore?

I recently purchased a Selmer Presence Bb Clarinet from online. I understand that it is somewhat risky given that you cannot play it before you buy it. However, I got a good deal on the instrument. The instrument plays well overall but, there is a spot on the inside of the bore of the upper joint. I think it may be a defect in the wood that made it past quality control. If I care properly for the instrument and do not subject it to rapid temperature changes, will the wood still be likely to crack more in the future? Should this spot change the sound of the instrument currently? Thanks. I have attached the image of the spot. The image is zoomed in so it may appear larger than it actually is.
