That looks pretty bad.
The motherboard is bent. The CPU "may" be fried.
Do NOT turn it on again until you (or someone else) tries to bend the motherboard pins back to their proper orientation.

In the right hands, it is maybe fixable.
This was one of my systems a few months ago:
Before - No boot

After - boot success
