Maybe?
First you have to bend it back to shape and you will probably need to heat
them to accomplish that.
Next you need to know if it is still in balance, if not you will have a
vibration and premature water pump bearing failure.
Once you are at this point you need to have confidence that the fan will not
come apart at any speed and tear through the car. Metal fatigue is not
always easy to spot.

Subject: [Tigers] Another fan question
My one man repair of my damaged Tiger is progressing.
The light pole that my son took out, did a great job on the radiator and
fan. I had an original LAT 42 steel bladed fan. Two of the blads were bent
around the upper pulley. Naturally I will replace the original pump and
pulley.
The question to listers is: should I try to straighten
the blades. The blades are steel and riveted on. If
I bend them back to position and a simple dye test
checks for cracks, is it OK to use?
Inquiring mind would like to know.
