The gear looks good. To look at the clutch requires taking the nut and spring off and pulling the pad and plates out...... I'm assuming. Don't have the 4x4 version.

It looks good 
With no exceptions mine used to seize up in between drives. I had to take it apart and pry the pads off of the slipper plate before every outing. My recommendation is ditch the slipper and go with a Hoss center diff and refill it with 100-500k depending on your preference.

It looks different from mine… mine doesn’t have a metal spur gear

Am I wrong or does that not look like a factory slipper? It looks like a Robinson Racing slipper to me. Surprisingly I've never seen one of those out in the wild.

Yup, Robinson Racing slipper. OP, you will need to take it apart to check the clutch disc to know the true condition of the slipper.
