I am trying to install my new Corsair RM750X power supply and noticed some black stuff on the cables, is that normal? My old power supply doesn’t have any of that black gunk on it. Should I be concerned? Or is it fine?

Yes, that's normal. It's from the factory where they've done quality checks on the cables and marked them to indicate they've passed. They're done in a place that isn't visible when the cable is installed.

It's just permanent marker by the way. Harmless.
