Yes, your HB looks OK. The thin (1/8"?) gap in the middle of the white mark would be the rubber isolator. You might think its a groove machined in the face of the pulley, but really the outer part is pressed onto the inner hub with a thin rubber "band" between them. Its not very flexible, either.
If it were slipping, the inner half of the white mark would move away from the outer half. You'd have to be terribly unlucky to come back after a couple weeks to find that they have traveled one revolution only to line up again...
The alternator has enough rotating mass (flywheel) so if its loose or crooked the belts can squeal when you start. Cross your fingers & hope the squealing goes away with the bushings. Sometimes its just old belts which have become glazed & slippery.
I haven't done a Saab crank pulley, so I can just say it "looks" easy. The hard stuff is finding a socket that's short enough so you can get a breaker bar on it without a hole through the firewall. Then you have to hold the flywheel to keep it from turning. And of course its on pretty tight, so you gotta be careful not to knock the car down off the jackstands onto your face. Other than that, its just unbolting stuff.
