It's unlikely that the slack shown in the timing chain would cause discernable issues with engine performance.
What exactly are problems you have been having?

When timing a cam in, you have to allow for chain stretch!, I'd just replace the chain for the sake of £5 or how ever much they are now
actually just had a second look and it doesn't look that bad, if it was me, I would probably put a new one on and re-time the cam in to rule out it out
