I just received an ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 motherboard from eBay and noticed that the CPU socket has a bent pin—it's completely flat. According to the diagram, the affected pin is BD-26. Should I return the product and request a refund, or is it likely that the board will function fine with just one bent pin?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Would be a good idea to pass on images of what you're seeing on the CPU's socket. If the board came that way from the seller, return it. You shouldn't be dealing with a bent pin out of the box.
Thanks! I was gonna post an Image but I accidentally posted without it.
Yup it did.
The pin is BD-26 on this diagram:
