Okay what you are seeing are pressure mark spots which can be caused by many things:

- Replacement screen put on too tightly.

- Battery expanding resulting in increased pressure of the battery against the screen and back cover.

If it's the battery expanding the battery would need to be replaced.

If this happened just after replacing the screen from a phone shop, get them to fix it for you, they would need to disassemble the phone again to the screen then loosen the screen so that it has less pressure on the frame and that should fix the issue.

Here is guide and parts to replacement battery from iFixit if needed:

the display has never been replaced and the stains have appeared out of nowhere within a few days.

In that case I would personally leave it like that as to fix that would require at least disassembling the phone then loosening up the screen or replacing the screen.

Not really enough of an issue to open up the phone in my opinion.
