Discoloration of a mirror should only be a bother while looking through the viewfinder. The mirror pops up to expose the film, and has nothing to do with anything but viewing, or the possible exposure reading. If you're seeing the same thing on prints, it would have to be something within the lens, or on it's outside elements. Have you removed it and looked to see if it simply needs cleaning, or if something has gotten inside the body? Remove the film, and fire the camera with the back open if possible, and see if something is stuck to the curtain. But be careful when cleaning so you won't damage anything. If you have scanned photos posted, it would help to see some examples if you'd provide a link. Good luck.
