Not uncommon for the valve seat to leak, I use a brass drift or a screwdriver and tap it with a hammer to get them to seat. As Forest says, surface rust is not a concern. Rust pitting would be a concern. If the valve stem leaks when in between fully open & fully closed I would repair that the next time the tank is empty.
