What you say does seem to me to suggest that the disc may have been mistreated in the past - most likely played with a damaged stylus.
Try some other discs, preferably unplayed previously, but only after replacing the stylus ( or even the entire cartridge) that you have. I would never take the condition of a stylus found on a flea market turntable for granted. You will be unable to check it unless you have a powerful microscope with a graticule for measurement and a lot of experience in doing this. So, safety first or you may end up damaging any other discs.
Korn & Macway seems to have been a brand only available to the Francophone market, really not known this side of the channel. However do make sure that you haven't plugged this turntable into a phono input with its sensitivity set for a moving coil cartridge. The Technics moving magnet one may well then overload this input and this could also be a cause of the distortion.
