Structurally speaking, if the dent is smooth (with no creases), and depth is less than the thickness of the structure, it is considered insignificant. The lip, that holds the leading edge of the removable pan is non structural. It looks ugly, but not a problem either.
All aluminum is either anodized (requires an acid bath) or chemical conversion coated (Alodine) to protect it from corrosion. There are brush-on alodines available to buy. If you could do just a little cosmetic straightening of that lip, it would look nicer...but that is just cosmetic. Alodine that damage areas to protect it from corrosion.
