Maybe you could wrap some fiberglas strapping tape or duct tape around the battery to protect it better.
 
Call the bomb squad. Disable or detonate in a safe location. Not worth the risk. Crap happens. You damage a lipo bashing and all. Hard case or soft, no matter the RC model. Been there. The internal plates of the cells have been compromised beyond use. I think any lipo mfr. would say the same.
Just me.

Even my soft pack lipos seem to be wrapped better than that. Your call, just charge and use with caution. I personally wouldn't risk it.
 
I say toss it, it's just an Amazon cheapo. Not worth your time to even care. But if you are brave cell 1 and 4 are probably fine and you can make it a 2s.
 
Can't make out the safety instructions on the battery but I do see the word abnormalities. What does the rest say. Answer might be in there for you.
