In my other car (also a uni-body) that is called the "longeron" and it takes almost all of the load on the car.
Any chance the car was accidentally taken off-roading, been "mowing the weeds" at the track, ever been stolen or joyridden when you were not present?

In any case it does not look like your run-of-the-mill random body corrosion.
