Serviceberries are lovely native trees that are highly valuable to our wildlife. That is a common rust disease on the fruits.
This is not uncommon as Serviceberries are susceptible to cedar-quince rust disease, which can render the fruits inedible for people (but still useful for wildlife).
There is nothing that you need to do.
