At least the damage there is forward of the suspension components, so not as structurally important ... but my guess is if you look at the major frame curve behind the control arm area you will find it's been kinked there and straightened. It almost always kinks there if hit hard enough to need the horn replaced. Looks like was done with stick, hooked up to a cheap buzz box, by a bad welder than never cleaned anything first.

The upside is ... it is metal. Anything metal can be fixed by a competent welder. Grind all the mess down to flush metal and reassess the job. A good welder can add the necessary metal, grind flush and you'd barely know it was ever done.
