Hello,
As you explain the situation it means that sometimes in his lifespan he has done a pneumonia or other lung infection which has left a scar in his lung. If he has no signs and symptoms than no worries. Nothing else to be done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
