Thank you for your question and picture. From your picture, the spots are small and insignificant, and since rhubarb rarely suffers from any diseases, I think your are safe to harvest it. We cut the leaves off when we harvest rhubarb anyway, so if you have a compost area, I would not put the leaves in it.
Enjoy your rhubarb and make something delicious with it!
