The pictures are so bad... I cannot tell.

Damage points should be in focus.
 
Yes it does. :)
Seriously - though, at the very least there's a risk of oxidation of exposed copper, but even more - a short to the ground: the computer chassis is grounded and motherboard screws usually come into metal stand offs that are in the back plate of the chassis.
I'd say do not put a screw in that spot (who designs a board with traces so close to the mounting hole/s anyway).

Edit: traces appear to be intact, so it might work, but no screws there...
 
i'd send it back not worth the risk
 
stick some solder mask or clear nail varnish over the exposed copper and you should be fine.

If those are RAM high frequcencies, better not. Nair Varnish can be conductive at those. You never know what's inside of them due to color, now the trend not using harmful chemicals, like acetone and it is replaced with some more weird mixtures.

I would leave it as it is actually, just use a plastic/paper washer...
 
that's why i said clear mate. ive used varnish countless times on traces and to insulate caps when using LM on cpus and gpus with no problem when i have no mask at hand.

So you have no way to even test if the board is working? Get your money back.
