Hey mate ^_^
The image IS distorted even for a single point. Spherical mirrors have pretty poor optical properties and if you want to go past the approximation, then you will have to read entire books on technical optics that contain the methods to design better imaging systems without these errors......
Physics textbooks rarely talk about the level of actual understanding needed to design even the most simple useful optics...
