I realize most of these 35+ year old cars leak some oil, this one in particular leaks
a small amount from an unknown origin on the right side. How much of a concern is this? Does an oil leak mean bigger problems down the road?

Oil leaks are common. May or may not be an issue. For ease of mind, get a PPI done. Folks here all recommend that but only some ever did. I didn't.

Does anyone know how these generation SC’s fare in a California smog test?

They have no problems passing smog ...

The car is out of state and doesn't require a smog test, I would need one done.
How difficult is it to get the car properly tuned?
Thank you.

but you need all the smog components intact.
If it has no major running issues, idles , revs smoothly, it should pass
