I agree with radiorich as stated above!
The kicker foot is badly worn from an excessive amount of rubbing on the reel discs!
In the photos below showing a reel kick assembly in high resolution is an original kicker foot showing normal wear over the years but is still completely functional and in operational condition!
The photos being high resolution and from three different angles can be zoomed in on after selecting view image and enlarging to see the area of discussion!
Also after replacing the foot you should make sure that the mech timing is correct to prevent it from rubbing abnormally on the reel discs!
Bona Fortuna!

PS
Also from further inspection of your photos one of the kicker foot plates is missing where the rivet is extended!
I hope this helps!
