That's not a proper or 'legal' receptacle it is plugged in to.
The cord is stapled or otherwise help permanently in place.
That fixture looks like it has had a cord and plug added, in which case the fixture is most likely only listed for permanently wired installation.
While that appears to be a three wire cord with a grounding type plug, that receptacle does not provide a ground (must have a three-to-two wire adapter there), thus the fixture is not grounded, as is required.
That should do for starters.
