Screens can develop burn in, it's a consequence of AMOLED screens. Nothing to do with Samsung or anyone else.
I have had my phone for almost 2 years and theres no hint of any burn nor have I had that issue with any other AMOLED screen phones I've owned.
I wouldn't worry about it

Had some screen burn up by the notification bar and down by the button bar a little over a year in, took it to the Samsung shop and in an hour they replaced the screen, sensor, bluetooth and other radios, etc. Less than an hour later I walked out with what felt like a new phone.

Keeping your brightness on auto is one good way to help prevent burn in. Another is to make a strong habit out of hitting the lock button every time you set your phone down. Also set your timeout settings to 1 min or less so that your screen doesn't stay lit up should you set it down and walk away. I'm terribe about being in the middle of typing a text message or email on my phone and then setting my phone down before sending it. Ended up having the on screen keyboard burn in on my Note 4 a couple years ago and have kept my time out settings at 30 seconds ever since.

Basically you just want to make sure that a "still screen" is not lit up for more than a couple of minutes at a time.
