Looks like a ground wire to me and it looks normal.

Looks like there's enough there to cut, terminate a new ring terminal on and bolt it back up.

That looks more like abrasion. No tooth marks like a miniature beaver tree.
It's a dedicated ground wire and still solidly attached to the block. There won't be sparks escaping. A little insulating tape will take care of it sufficiently. Bend it up a bit more so it won't keep sanding itself off in future.

Wrap it with a few turns of silicone rescue tape. If you've never used it, prepare to be amazed.
For best results, wash your hands before activating (stretching), and wrapping it.
