It is fully intentional to center such sprites in the 4:3 center of the frame and this won't be changed.

This is an old and well known "bug". The bottom line is that the graphics were made long before wide screen monitors and resolutions became popular. So, the sprite simply isn't big enough to cover the extra screen space. It looks fine at 4:3 ratio resolutions

There is no easy solution to this that won't run the risk of looking hacky or distorting the appearance of the graphic somehow. The only real solution is to make wider replacement graphics.
