The second pin appears to be broken off. Is this intended by the manufacturer or not?

Well, RMA your GPU and let the manufacturer to decide if it belongs under warranty or not. Most likely there are other blown components as of why your GPU doesn't work anymore.

Looks like part of the Gigabyte design if these are anything to go by:

That is the connection sense pin. It is part of the standard that allows for PCIe hot swap on compatible motherboards. Perfectly normal.
