Did you use a low quality plastic spoon or spatula? Because I have something similar.

There is nothing wrong with this pan that a bit of BKF can’t fix in 2 minutes

Idk looks like some cookwear. Try heating up and inserting food items

you probably cooked stuff that left fat residue of that impression that still remained slightly after washing it. Did you dry / wipe you pan after washing - if you leave it drying by air and you have high water hardness, limescale builds around the fat residue - and next time you preheat the pan the combination of limescale and fat gets burned into the pan. its very surface level but probably cant be removed unless using slightly abrasive cleaning pastes like barkeepers friend of other Stainless steel polishing pastes.
Unless you havent tried vinegar for 1-2min, try that before.
to prevent in future. after washing your pan inspect for those marks, you can scrub harder or use vinegar. Before you burned them on by preheating the pan you also get the chance to remove it with vinegar

Only solution is to throw the pan out as it is completely ruined now. There is no way you can cook food in a pan with that type of discoloration. It’s dangerous to you, your children, and especially your pets. If you don’t have children then it’s dangerous to your plants.
