Nothing is wrong with it. This is natural and all engines shed some oxide in water.

There are one or two ferrous components in the cooling system. Anti freeze mix can become acidic after a while and start eating through such parts. When the rusty water starts to show, a flush through and fresh antifreeze mix every few years is a good idea.
