I’ve had this plant for over is a year and I haven’t seen anything like this. Is this extra variegation or should I be concerned? 😂

be concerned \& check your roots!

I repotted it 2 days ago and the roots look great!

To me, it looks a little like sunburn. Nothing you can do about it now except remove the leaf (if you don’t like it).  
My Birkin has loads of of variegated leaves and they tend to be susceptible to sunburn.  
I’m no expert though.

\* update \* the leaf is growing normally and seems to be perfectly healthy. From what I’ve seen on google, it’s actually normal for Birkins to have red or pink spots emerging on new leaves due to a mutation since the birkin is a hybrid and may not have stable genes. So I’ll be keeping an eye on it and seeing how it goes 😂
