I recently moved into a house and it looks like a chemical has been used on the stainless steel drain and left marks. Is it possible to clean it off?

Unfortunately that looks like they used an acid that stripped the chrome finish off. No good way to get that back on.

That appears to be a garbage disposal chrome trim ring. Get another one and replace this one. It's permanently damaged and corroding. Most of these are chrome-plated brass. Once the chrome flakes off there is nothing to stop the brass from damage.

I'm not seeing any stainless steel in your photo.
