That's not unusual. It's caused by bacteria that grows on the evaporator from the constant moisture. It's easy to get rid of if only you can get access to the evap itself. They make some kits that will work. One of them inserts a tube into the drain and temporarily fills the evap with foam that immediately drains.
If you can get some spray Lysol directly on to the evap through drilling a hole, that works too.
