The surface of the pool specifically on the walls has organic matter, build up present. It appears it is likely a black algae, dark green algae variant that should be able to be removed with service. It appears to be located on approximately 10% of the surface most specifically found on the walls.
Upon initially entering the backyard, and seeing the surface, I felt that it was wear present, but upon closer investigation, it does appear that the discoloration present is organic, and likely only on the very top of the surface. Therefore, it is possible that this material can be removed with direct treatment. If it is removable, it will likely require an Acid type treatment directly to it ideally with the pool half trained to accomplish ($500+).
There also appears to be a fine layers of sediment present that is covering approximately 50 to 65% of the pools surface, making it partially difficult to see the entire surface for inspection- the sediment is likely from previous chemical treatments to assist in removing the algae and this sediment is what remains. This will have to be likely vacuumed from the pool ($150+) to properly, dispose of all the organic spent material.
Overall, the surface appears to be likely between 20 to 25 years old, and typically plaster last up to 30 years. Overall, it appears the surface is in fair condition for its age but I do see stains present rust colored in the shallow end, as well as staining present throughout the surface in different locations ie returns.
