It's from minerals in the water. It won't hurt you. If you want to clean it off, try Barkeeper's Friend powder or gel cleanser. I use that on the pan inside my pressure cooker when it starts to look like that.

Thanks, as long as no health issue, then I am okay with it.
You can rinse it with a mix of water and vinegar to clear up the discoloration. Otherwise, it looks fine to me.
Let it soak over night as using harsh cleaners will scratch the surface. I agree with others that it looks nasty but not harmful. Most coffee pots probably look worse than the water boiler.
Boiled water from a stove or electric kettle leaves behind mineral deposits which collect at the bottom. The deposits aren't something that you want to drink. You should buy kettles with a filter located at the mouth of the kettle. Leaving a 1/2 cup of lemon/lime or vinegar for a few hours (don't heat the kettle while cleaning) will leave the pot looking like new.
