When I winterized our 69 this fall it had a brand new suburban water heater. I noticed a fair amount of pitting like yours, not near as much up by the threads though. Might be best to flush the bottom of the tank and replace the rod, could have been defective, or you might have had some pretty strong water at a camp ground or something too. Our local ACE hardware had the anode rod, think they were 5 or 6 bucks to replace, so we just swaped it out.
