I'd certainly want to remove the glass locally so I could see if it's just a stain or if it is indeed rot. If rot, it's got air and moisture in there and will get worse, so needs to be removed and re-glassed. If it's not rot it could be bleached then re-glassed. Oxalic acid (can get from a real pharmacy) mixed with warm water will bleach out the color usually.
