Is this a normal set of "expert information" reports for a home network?

Hi,

I left Wireshark running, capturing on a Windows host, for 24 hours give or take. There were periods when this Windows 11 system was used for playing a computer game, surfing the web, and running the cmd line tool traceroute. What causes malformed packets such as these? Is this normal? Does wireshark have a large number of false-positives? https://i.imgur.com/QMAdrtO.png
