The scratches in your photo are not a problem - they are a feature. Yes I'm being serious.
It is common to find hardwood flooring these days which is intentionally 'distressed' by creating these scratches & grooves before being finished - and you can see in your pic that the finish on this flooring extends down into the grooves, and has not been scraped off.
Sometimes the features are intended to look like old well-worn flooring, and other times they're intended to look like the flooring was 'crafted' by hand. Often the features look like the remains of being rough-cut by a circular saw blade.
Take a trip to any flooring store in your neighborhood and look for the section featuring 'hand-scraped' and 'distressed' options - and you'll find many examples of what you're seeing here.
A google image search for "distressed hardwood flooring pictures" shows many examples:
