Probably impossible to know for sure. Does not look as bad as some. Watch for bloating during the top balance and track them for capacity issues.
Most sellers will deny any adjustment for what looks like minor cosmetic damage.
 
Compress it and it will flatten the dent a bit. All the force will first push at that point.

I would not worry about such cosmetic issue. There are videos of folks tearing down prismatic cells in youtube. Based on what's inside, a dent like that will have zero impact on the cell.
