Yeah they all have that and I really hate it 
 I bought this one off of eBay Germany but those marks were some of the first things I noticed

almost like a kid just jammed a bunch of the keys and just kept pressing them or something 

 well I've never done it before but I feel a lot better about trying to bend it back in place , rather than trying to solder it anyways

Anything?

​Given that you don't have the proper tools for the job, like bending or peening pliers, you had better be very careful with whatever you end up doing. Since the letter is a little low, you'll need to straighten the upper portion of the type bar just below where it begins to curve forward to the slug (just below where those dents are) by peening (tapping) the back of the type bar while it's being supported. Conversely, you could try to GENTLY bend the bottom of the tail portion of the slug part of the type bar forward, away from the main type bar. 

I can't stress enough that if you aren't patient and careful with this process, which means working in the tiniest, almost imperceptible increments, you will risk causing even more damage to your type bar.
