Is this a disease on this majesty palm frond or just a regular dying frond?

I don't think is a disease. Is the soil often dry or the air?

Low humidity. Northern houses are dark, cold and dry in winter because of central heating. Majesties are notoriously difficult houseplants and shouldn’t be sold as such. Try Chamaedoreas

Try getting it away from that heating vent or turning that vent off (If that is what I'm seeing??) and get outside in part sun if weather allows.

It does look like a floor vent. Thats something we dont have down here in FL. We did have them in TN tho, very useful during the winter. The location of that vent does seem to coincide with the brown parts of the frond.

Potted Spindles also do well indoors.
