If the box seal has been broken, send it back and get a new one.

It could have been damaged or switched for a fake.

Assuming it's legit & still sealed, damage is unlikely, as the only real damage that can occur is damage to the pins (if it were AMD, Intels are in the socket) or the pads. Those face into the box, and have a plastic surround for protection.

Unless the box was totally destroyed/flattened, chances are pretty good that the CPU is fine.

If the intel factory sealed sticker is ripped or gone I would send it back. Beyond that I have no idea if the cpu will work or not, no way I could answer that with any certainty based on your description.

The upper part of the box is damaged?

A CPU is very sturdy and IMO it wouldn't get damage easily, only if real pressure were applied to it.
Test it out, check if it works fine, if it does, no worries there friend.

Yes it is broken, send it to me for testing. This can take 4-6 years.
