Re: Attic ventilation and mold
Your picture is on the very minor side compared to what I see regularly. It's good to be concerned and you're ahead of most people by just identifying it.
For comparison, here's a picture from my house that was built in 89. The installers of the insulation got a little excited and blocked off all of the soffit vents. 15 years later when I bought the house this is what I uncovered. The only real view of the side facing the attic is the scrap lying on the roof to the left side of the picture.
Again, it's good you found it but don't lose any sleep. I've seen cases MUCH more severe where the mold remediation folks only recommended washing with a bleach solution and adding better ventilation. And they are pretty well known for bordering on the side of overkill.
Add ventilation and keep an eye on it.
