Think you might find that the 'film' is either varnish or a lacquer coating from the factory.
If you are wanting to fix it, you will probably have to use varnish and a brush... that said you can buy aerosol lacquers.
The window will need rubbing down first with sandpaper and you need to check for rot and treat this (if there is any).
You might be able to get some of the black staining out of the wood with oxalic acid... it might be better to paint the window.
You might need to check the room ventilation as this could be the cause of the black... or a leak.
good luck
