The card has been restored.
It doesn't matter if it's a hole created from a tack, a tear, discoloration, or the removal of a stain/dirt. If a card is treated to remove damage of any kind, it is a restoration.

There is no such thing as the card being professionally cleaned, no schooling
exist for such thing HOWEVER artificially cleaned or altered is the only way to
explain or describe such ocurrance.
