I think you'd be surprised how lax IPC-A-610 can be. That probably just sneaks in as acceptable for class 1/2 (side overhang <=50%). Even class 3 acceptance criteria allows for 25% overhang.
They probably gave the marketing department a QC reject to take pictures with, since marketing can't be bothered to worry about things like proper ESD protection =)
I would be shocked if they didn't ship that. The capacitor is electrically connected to the pads, and isn't shorting the row of smaller passives above. It's $32.
It just looks ugly. A slightly larger misalignment could cause shorts on pads above, which would impair the device function, but if it isn't, it isn't.

That board shouldn’t have passed QC? The largest SMD on the first image of the board is severely off-centre.

Whoa— yeah, that’s hard to un-see. I can’t believe they missed that (and that I did at first glance)
What's the issue with this ?
