I am close to agreeing with [MENTION=392454]CliffordK[/MENTION]. That looks like something was mounted on the leg and a screw was used to hold it down, resulting in a puncture. I am thinking of a light.
What does concern me is the tear on the left side. That tear will propogate over time and needs to be addressed. I am not a frame builder, so can't make a judgment call. The rust on the rest of the fork looks mostly like surface rust. Can you hear rust sliding up and down the fork legs when you rotate the fork end to end?
