I know this is not a DDO, but I'm wondering if someone could explain to me why something like this happens? Does it happen because the coin was squeezed during the minting process?

Looks to me what happens when the die is getting worn. You can also see it starting on the bottom of the 7.

I agree, the beginning of a worn out die.
Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on

Proof dies strike about 2500 to 5000 coins before they are retired, compared to +/- 250,000 for non proof coins, so it seems unlikely to have signs of deterioration.

It could just be the result of the multiple strikes that each proof gets.

On the other hand, VV recognizes at least 15 DDO's for 1970 S Proofs, so you may want someone else to look at this.
