This is what could have happened to my lens, I guess. But do you mean the black
paint inside the lens barrel might have evaporated or so and then condensed on
the lens surface?

Replacement of a lens element is out of my economic means, and I guess it would
be hard to find a replacement element and let someone put it in for the price
of a used lens.
What I find strange, however, is that the lens is still producing decent
pictures. I have an SC version also, and I can't see any difference between the
pictures taken with both lenses.
