Should we be worried? Cracks

Moved into a house a few months ago. Sellers said they removed the wall where this beam is but said they didn't put the beam in and that it was already there. That may be true but we don't know.

Next to the beam is the back door which has a crack running from the edge of the door all the way up to the beam. Should we be worried?

I would no worry about that.
Rake out and fill.

Just have to watch cracks and door opening. If door starts to hit frame or crack starts to open up then that could be a sign of bigger movement and potential problems. Ground moves. Houses move. That looks minor unless you can find anything else that's a worry
