Well, that you can only know testing, if it works then you probably didn't damage it. I lost a 1155 mobo on my old computer because of a rusty screw, I scratched deeply the PCB in a small sector, and the computer didn't even turn on because of that, but in a few cases the damage can be just superficial.

At least for my eyes it doesn't looks that bad, but you could use more opinions, because from my experiences, all the scratches were so deep, that I had no doubt that was a problem. But, wow, old mobo caught fire? Dang..
