On first sight, and not being a structural engineer, it would appeared to have damaged the rear pressure bulkhead. If that is the case and it is an old airframe, I find it hard to believe that it is a viable proposition to restore it to service.
The APB is forward of the vertical stabilizer and there is evidence that the skin has been scraped in this area. But without being able to see how much skin deformation there is in this area, it is hard to tell APB damage by looking at external damage.
