unfortunately, it will be bent, not a lot maybe, but it will start to wear the guides giving you higher oil consumption.
It also wont be seating perfectly, so you'll get blowby under power, and lean-mixture banging and spluttering if you shut the throttle at higher revs.
Check the seating by making sure the valve is shut and pouring a little petrol in the head - you dont want any leaks into the inlet tract at all.
It looks like the pulley allowed the cam to move rather a lot.
