I can assess libpng version reasonably:

strings /usr/bin/finchtv reports

 libpng version 1.2.5 - October 3, 2002

What do you suggest I do about this?

I think this is impossible to correct since the package is closed source.

Why it's in /usr/bin then? It should go to /opt like all other binary-only software.
