No, that is not normal and it looks like that is something that probably would interfere with normal usage.

If it did interfere with normal usage (ex - viewing a movie that has black bars on the sides), I would exchange it for another model, personally.

Other threads about this, is apparent on almost all at full brightness and black screen.

I had it on mine and had the screen replaced for bad backlight bleed this week. The backlight bleed is miles better on the new one but some leak from bezel edge. I’m not bothered by it.
