From the picture I feel we see emersed growth meaning eventually almost all the leaves you see will disintegrate in order to be replaced by new underwater leaves. What you see isn't anything that would worry me.

If you want to be more drastic you could just trim all the leaves. As long as the root is intact it will sprout new leaves quicker. Here's a vid by Juris on the subject.
