From the looks of that image, there seems to be no bent pins. You could take a much more closer picture to make sure. You might also want to find out why the seller is selling the board. Things like that can give an indication of what the board went through.

I would disagree on "no bent pins" theory.

Will it actually hamper things? possibly, possibly not.

Edit: another odd point is a bit down from the circled area, on the inside edge. In a lot of cases like this, it's a game of "spot the difference"
