The discoloration you notice is because the liquid/moisture damaged the backlight layer of your screen.
No actual electronic components seem to have suffered damage.

Your MacBook will probably keep running normally (depends if some liquid-moisture actually made it to the LCD, corrosion could build up slowly over time and damage the LCD, but it seems like everything dried up)
The only way to fix this is by replacing the full display assembly..
