Not unusual at all

What's more as the filter ages it will probably develop more. Almost all the metal film filters I have ever seen do, except the Questar ones and they cost a LOT more.

What you do:

Obtain some thick opaque paint - tippex correcting fluid will do nicely,

Hold the filter up to the sky so you can see the holes - or holding it against a computer screen might do in a dark room,

Use the applicator to place a dab of tippex over each hole. This should enhance contrast in your image, and makes no discernable difference to resolution.

Eventually when the filter looks like a road sign that has been used for target practice its time to bin it.
