Very common on the tire surface that’s pulled down onto the jack stem and lug wrench.
Yours is one of the worst I’ve seen, but that’s how it was designed. I’d make sure you have plenty of air in that spare to help prevent those impressions. A Red Line spare that I took out of a trunk 40+ years ago is still showing impressions on opposite sides of the tire from the jack stem.

I also have original spares indented similar, although none as deep as Richard's. Lesson here is keep it fully inflated and don't crank down the wing nut!
 LOVE seeing these original, '67 only style, Wide Ovals!!  Bill W Last edited by 67since67; 10-23-2021 at 09:42 PM. Reason: zzzzz

Bring the pressure up to 32# and lay it in the hot sun during the day. The depressions may get better.
