I'm not close to the bike right now to take a proper picture, but judging from the look alone it doesn't seem all that bad.
TBH, I have these tyres since 5 years ago, I can't remember how was the handling when they were new, but I think I'd remember if it was as bad as it is now.
It's one of those things that changes ever so slightly over time, that we tend to get used to it at the same time, until one day we realise something doesn't feel right.
The Road 5 it's a perfectly valid tyre, but I've seen more than once people saying that the front shoulders compound are too soft compared to the centre and depending on the bike geometry or utilization / riding style, the front can lose the ideal profile rather soon.
It could be something else contributing to that effect, but unless something is wrong with the bike, in my experience it's always been the tyres, and with 5 years on them I'm happy to replace them anyway, preferably with something known to be neutral and stable in corners on the FZS.
