It looks like the changes are still part of the original damage, which is a good thing. New damage would be a bad sign but slow progression and “finalization” of existing damage is much less scary. Still doesn’t look like anything crazy to my eyes. I have a Phal with similar black spots. It had a couple when I was gifted it and it developed a few more over the first couple of weeks in my care. Since then no new ones have occurred and the old ones haven’t changed and the plant is VERY healthy and growing like gangbusters. I keep an eye on the spots but I’m not worried about them.
I did repot it shortly after arrival, and edema was a potential suspect in my case. Maybe repot it for good measure? A year isn’t an unreasonable time to do that.
