    If you only have one backlink from that domain, it wont be too much of an issue. However, if your site itself has a spam score of 8 you might wanna do a clean up.

    you are over thinking it ;)
    Presently you are benefiting from it. If things do not go so well. You can always disavow that link, if you have multiple links from that site, disavow the domain.

    Take MOZ metrics with a grain of salt. If it bothers you though then research that domain to see if it is indexed/has been penalized/has a spammy link profile itself/etc.

    According to me, it's not a very good idea.. You should stay away from such backlinks! To ensure you have MAXIMUM of 3 for your own website! ;)
