I don't want to be sucked into the stupidly obviously answer... believe me ;-)
But it cannot be transparent, as the MacBook screen is a flat surface objects behind may appear slightly out of place (because of the thickness), but the only way the iMac would would appear to be at a different angle than the real thing is if the screen was not a flat surface. As you can see the bottom edge of the iMac on the is a straight line, but it is not exactly parallel to the real thing.
Also, if it was 'transparent' the brightness through the MacBook would be relative to the current environment, the screen and wall seem light enough, but the metal casing of the iMac is clearly too dark, this would commonly occur when taking a photograph using a digital camera of mobile phone, as the camera thinks its a bright scene and thus reduces exposure to compensate.
So to sum up, it's clearly broken, take it back to your nearest MacTard store

WTF??
Does this only happen to Apple computers or have you PC chaps noticed the same thing?
it only seems to happen when the laptop battery is almost empty
It's not just Apples Ken......my windoze laptop does the same, and when it's nearly flat as well.
It's something to do with the pixies not having enough energy left to fill the lid up I think
that is a macbook pro, made by apple 
ps. i tried to do the same with mine but lost interest. it's harder than it looks

Hmmm you might be right - I ran the wife's laptop battery down last night and it happened to both

The desktops in the office don't have batteries, but if you unplug them from the UPS, it takes the batteries in that a few minutes to go flat.....the same effect happens
