I am assuming that this tray is a drip tray to catch condensating

drain from it or would the water be expected to evaporate naturally
into the air? Is this amount of water, or condensation, normal?

Not exactly. Condensate from the coils should drain away, unseen by human
eyes. There are TWO drains.

Only if the primary drain is clogged should water appear in the external
drip-pan.

In other words, the visible drip-pan is the fail-safe mechanism. If you can
see water, the primary drain is clogged. Then, of course, when the external
pan's drain gets clogged, water overflows into the house, garage, or
wherever.

So, then:

1. Find the primary drain and unclog it (blow (hard) into it).
2. Find the access port to the primary condensate collection area and put a
cup of bleach in the collected water. This will kill the alge that's the
original cause of the clog.
3. Un-clog the external drip-pan's drain.
4. Pour a cup of bleach down the external drip-pan's drain.
