This alignment looks pretty good to me and the drill is in fine condition. Unless you are using bits at 1/32" or less, it shouldn't have an impact on function. There might be a small burr or bit of debris preventing it from being perfect and as others have suggested you could disassemble and clean it out. I have one just like it (but more beat up) and it's a great drill. I use it all the time.
