How is this backlight bleeding?

I think it's fine. You'll get 100 others though screaming.
I never stare at a black screen and I never have the brightness up more than 40% unless I'm outdoors.
In fact, I've never tested my iMac, iPad, iPhone or Air. If the picture looks great in everyday use, I go on about my life.

Do you see this in live or only on the photo? There was a thread recently where it was shown how photos taken with cellphone cameras can create apparent bleeding or brightness fluctuations...
In any case, based on the photo, I think it is acceptable. I would check if it bothers you during normal use, e.g. watching a dark-ish movie in a dimly lit room, playing a game with mostly dark backgrounds, or something similar. If the bright corners are notable there you could consider having it fixed.
