If you are experiencing Super Motherload being off-center and too big on your high DPI monitor, there is a solution to fix this issue.
The problem stems from the fact that Super Motherload is an older game and does not declare itself as high DPI aware in the executable manifest. As a result, the operating system scales the game, causing it to appear off-center and oversized on high DPI monitors.
