You're probably fine. My used 3070 was probably running over 90C for ??? time with the previous owner before they sold it and works like champ for me after a repaste. Was there some silicon degradation in there? Maybe, but for $220 it's great and I don't run it at max except in benchmarks. The rest of the time it's chillin' at ~170W and 60C max.

Your GPU clock is super low there, looks like you may have gone overkill with the undervolt/underclock. For reference, my daily driver MHz on the 3070 is 1875MHz at 0.893V. Even with a conservative clock and UV like I like to run, you should be in that general range depending on silicon lottery. I only see you hangin' at a low ~1000 MHz in that chart.
Good catch, but I only decreased the power to %75 in MSI afterburner. Here what it looks like in full throttle:
