I was switching out a bulb in my basement overhead light socket and noticed the hot terminal looks a little deformed.. Its an old light fixture but is this some sort of problem?

You mean the shape? that's how it is.
Other than that it looks like they've used too much solder on the contact, how old is this? new ones usually don't require any solder to keep the wires in place.
