these pics can be misleading. The 1st seems to show some backward orientation of the crown/blades, but at the angle taken and with the wheel turned strongly to right, the image can be misleading. The only pic which has a somewhat reasonable view is the last one, and there it's hard to see the alignment of the headset components... But, is that a 'paint' chip in the crown shoulder?
That could indicate a stress flaw from possible fork/wheel frontal impact. But again, I don;t write things off just from internet pics... which don;t indicate a certain fault/flaw and could be misleading.
Before you remove the lower fork race and if you have an accurate measuring tool - If the steerer is 'factory' trimmed, the distance from the race to the top of the steerer should be the same at all compass points around the race...
IF, the measurement is NOT the same at any point, then there's an issue. Some possibilites 1. The crown now sits at an angle to the steerer, and possibly indicate a front end strike in prior history.
2. In the process of 'painting', the paint was not distributed evenly and now cause the race to sit on the crown at an angle. Paint/seating issue...
If it's a 'paint' thing, there are things which can be done to seat the race properly (if the 'glass' test shows the steerer is 'straight - if the steerer isn;t straight then you have mulitple problems and possibly the result of a strike and possible future failure?).
It's really up to your inspection of the fork BEFORE the repaint was done. - A good, side-on pic of everything assembled, with wheel in, from a distance, done square on not an angle, can give a better - but not conclusive - indication of misalignment. Forks from that period bike were not fully straight blades, and didn;t have as much fork rake curve as prior generations of bikes - so it's really difficult to determine issues. WIth old school forks, the upper run of the fork blades were ALWAYS in parallel to the head tube/angle. On modern straight blades, they're never in parallel... LOL!
Most Bike shops will pop the races on, assemble and then adjust - if it binds, especially on any 'used' bike, their not gonna hunt much further - fork/bike are toast to them and they're not gonna spend time trying to figure out any further... which is totally expected and reasonable on their part.
Again, it's worth the effort to truly define the issues, not go by internet opinion.
Ride On
