Do you have antenna on the boot?
Based on your picture of where the recess is it seems that antenna is directly above it and what we see is water damage from poor antenna seal dripping directly on the unit.
On picture of damaged plug I also see sound deadening material of what seems to be central locking pump. Are we sure there is no water ingress there?

No aerial at all on the car. Probably explains the c*ap reception on the radio. I pulled the alarm apart, and it was definitely caused by the two big button batteries leaking, which someone suggested.
