Default Is something wrong with this intake valve?

Well I took my intake off to swap it and was cleaning the heads to put the new intake on and noticed the valve looked a bit different. Anyone know if this looks normal?

Looks like some exhaust leakage into the port.

Picture is real blurry, but is the stem galled?

Not normal.

How are the rest and which cylinder is this? Could be sucking oil (all LS1's do this) and then getting burnt.

If I am looking at the engine its the first intake valve to the left. A few of them look like this but I can't really tell what it is. I am not sure if they all look like this since some intake valve are open and some are closed. I tried to reach it and see if it is scared but can't reach it with my finger to see.
