I’ll tell you what that looks like to me — it looks like at some point, Pressure was applied to the leaf against the rim of the pot. I’ve done it often enough, you do it without realizing. Where there was damage, the leaf developed scar tissues — sometimes the wounded leaf will scorch from the sun — and the holes may have been where the pressure was heaviest.
Otherwise, this is a very healthy looking plant.

My bhut jalokia (ghost pepper) has similar leaf damage. I thought it was from insects, but could be mechanical like others said. The plant looks healthy in your pics.
Something I've noticed with my super hot is that if it's in full sun, the plant starts to lose its dark green color. It begins to yellow. I put it in partial sun, and it's looking much more dark and healthy.
