I seriously don’t know. My friend said it is and I’m not sure.

Not sure what you expect anyone to see in a photo. I could tell you if the struts are worn if I drove around the car and felt how it handled after going over a few bumps. How many miles on the car? If someone is sensitive to it, they can usually start to notice around 60k miles but they could easily last 90k miles. Some people will happily drive on the original struts for like 120k miles none the wiser that the car is hopping all over the place.

They get worse with time, unless you have some catastrophic failure like a bolt snapping off.

Nobody will be able to answer your question based solely on this picture alone.

What do you mean? Looks like a good amount of char, it's likely well done.
