83 300D - Should I replace this front bearing seal?

I'm doing brakes on my 300D. even tho the front rotors were not too bad, I decided shotgun it and do new rotors and calipers.

I pulled the right front rotor. The wheel bearing looks fine- grease is clean. However, on the back side of the hub, the seal looks like somebody deformed it with a hammer while seating it.

So- should I absolutely replace this seal? Maybe I could just replace the grease seal and not go to the hassle of new bearing race? I do have a shop press, so I'm sure I could do press out the old race, but I think all I really need is a new seal. Or maybe not even that? I don't see any evidence of grease having leaked out.
