I'm sure that if you looked at the other three blades on the hub, you would find they look very similar.
This is not a dent. It is erosion on the leading edge caused by salt and water from their low level over water operations.
Considering the overall incredible size of the blades (over 4 metres in diameter) this wear is not significant, although I don't remember seeing one with this amount of erosion.
