Well, not the oil itself, but the amount/consistentcy of the metal mixed in, lol.
Some are saying its normal for transmissions to have a little like that, that is normal wear and tear.
I go off smell too when it comes to transmissions. Its not burnt, not yet. My last Maro's fluid smelled so bad it would almost make you sick. Get it on your hands and you can't wash that stench off.

drop the pan. It's the only way to know for sure, but if it smells burnt, then it probably is...

Same here. Would look good on an older Nova or 70s Z28.
