I was commuting and the chain fell off and wrapped around making this horrible screech. It's now on the free wheel (sorry). Mechanic says it's absolutely fine but I'm still a little iffy on whether this damage was too bad or if its more just regular wear and tear.

Looks bent
Looks like the hub OLD is less than the dropout spacing.
It’s fine. Spacing looks a ‘lil off but it’s steel so it bends.
Looks fine to me. Steel is hard to really mess up If it’s still bending in when you flip the wheel, then just put a washer in there to even it out.
is it just me, the drop out is so thin?
Tighten the chain, pull the rear wheel if you have to.
