That is coma, and "collimating" wont fix it. Don't waste your money on this, move it on and buy a better lens.
The lack of a decent name from the film era (ie Pentax/Takumar, Nixon, Canon) should be a clear warning it's a "yum-cha" cheapie with poor performance.
Another thing to bear in mind is that the resolution of most 35mm films was around 20 microns. Lens performance (spot sizes) aimed to match that. But 30 years later in this age, the pixel spacings of modern sensors are 2-5 microns - and a lens with a 20 micron spot size will appear very soft on a modern camera.
