Hold on!
The 50’S 5.5s do NOT have a baffle plate under the exhaust cover. The cover you are looking at is all there is. Some paint discoloration is completely normal on those engines. As long as it is only some discoloration on that cover that is no cause for alarm. If the block is discolored then you have evidence of an overheat. At the point I’d price it like parts.
