I’m not sure if it’s a hazard or not, per se, but it will definitely impact the performance of the fridge and reduce its usable lifespan. I’ve had this same situation in multiple homes I rented over the years. Sometimes it is unavoidable, but you would do well to move the fridge to a different location and put another cabinet next to the stove for safety. I had neighbors growing up who had a son get doused in boiling water as a result of an exposed stove side—even if you don’t have kids, it’s just a good precaution.

Edit: by the by, Google “kitchen triangle design” for an effective strategy for laying out a kitchen. Move the fridge to the adjacent wall (right side in the photo) and put another cabinet piece in its place and you are good to go.
