Question Call me corrosion freak...

(Or rust freak in this case...)

Just finished my empennage inventory.
I found the same problem on two different parts (left and right I suppose).
The hole is not free from burr and rust is showing.
Should I worry about this?

I wouldn't worry. It's baked paint. Sand it and prime. I would recommend scuffing, priming and painting all powder coated controls brackets. If not treated eventually all of them start rusting. I can show you mine after 5 years of flying unpainted

No big deal. Clean up the burr with a dremel sander and dab a little primer on it and move on.

That is probably where they hung the part to coat it.

Deburr, clean, treat, prime and touch up as needed.
