Fungal or something else?

I got this dracaena about a month ago. (I have since learned a ton about what to look out for when buying a plant.) I am wondering if this is fungal, or maybe perhaps just the result of less than ideal conditions at the nursery? (I don't see a yellow ring on any of the spots.) I noticed the brown bits on most layers of leaves (but not all leaves themselves) and now on the innermost leaf. I plan on transplanting to a pot with drainage but wanted to check with the community incase that will stress it out too much at this point in time.

Hi @SelAudrey ! You’re giving me PTSD from my nursery manager days. This is exactly what our bulk plant shipments looked like right off the truck. It took me hours to clean them and give them some sort of dignity. lol I pretty certain you’ll be fine. It’s just been through the hell of mass production and shipment. Give it love. Wipe down the leaves and let it know it’s accepted, scars and all. 🫠
@snowtrooper thank you once again! Would you recommend waiting before repotting since he's stressed?
