I would say no, the sideplate on S&W revolvers are normally "fitted" much better than this. However there is no actual hazard in a poorly fitted sideplate, it's just visually disturbing. Personally if I saw this in a revolver that I was considering purchasing I would decline the purchase.
If you've already purchased this revolver you should have looked closer before putting your money on the counter. Some good news is that if you call S&W they may fix this as a warranty repair.

It wouldn't be acceptable to me. I think S&W will fix it. I had excellent experiences with their customer service. I've never had a new or vintage S&W revolver with that kind gap.

Wondering if the frame has "stretched", accounting for the uneven gap.

Good catch, do not purchase that gun! If it's too late and you did buy that gun, take it to a gunsmith or maybe send it back to Smith and Wesson... good luck.
