That's just normal wear and tear, those are just folded fins. Don't worry about it until that's at least 30% or more of your radiator.

Just get a comb and straighten the fins a bit if it bugs you that much. But definitely don't replace it because of that.
Just leave it. unless you got ocd and want to bent it back with a needle
Take a look at your cars radiator sometime. I can guarantee it looks 100x worse than that. Fins are just there to increase surface area. As long as they aren't restricting airflow through the radiator, you're fine.
