You probably need to apply some fresh thermal paste.

The definition of "woke" proves it's objectively a good thing. There is no context in which it can be used as a valid criticism.

Does it matter, another question

Is it normal, potentially damaging , or just doing it's job

It is not uncommon for the fans in a PS3, especially in a slim model, to make some noise during operation. This is because the fans are responsible for keeping the system cool, and as the internal temperature of the console rises, the fans will spin faster to dissipate heat.
However, if the fan noise is excessively loud or constant, it could be an indication that the fans are dirty or not functioning properly. Over time, dust and debris can accumulate inside the console, obstructing the fans and reducing their effectiveness. This can cause the fans to work harder and make more noise than usual.
If you notice that your PS3 is making more noise than it used to, you may want to try cleaning the fans and vents to see if that helps. You can do this by gently blowing compressed air into the vents to dislodge any dust or debris. You may also want to consider placing the console in a well-ventilated area, away from any heat sources, to improve its cooling performance.
If the fan noise persists even after cleaning, or if you notice any other unusual behavior, it may be a good idea to have the console checked by a professional technician.
