It is coming up to a year old, it has done this for a couple of months now

Any ideas?


 
Since the graphic glitch is in such a confined area, I would say that it looks like a software/driver issue. Have you tried applying the latest combo update or reinstalling OS X during the time you have had this issue?
 
I had a similar issue. Took mine to Apple and they replaced the logic board and it worked again. So my advice: go to Apple with it.
 
I have the very same behavior here (13" 2010 MBP), I think it started with Lion or some Chrome update after Lion. So, I do not think it is a hardware defect, but rather some software/driver issue as rasmuslp suggested.

The graphics error goes away if you scroll around or change the tab, right?
