Is this water heater likely safe and functional despite the external damage? I have a chance to purchase this extremely discounted unit, which would replace a 50gal gas Rheem from '94.

Edit: I'm able to 'make sure it works' before committing, but would rather not risk it if the damage is in a bad spot for the tank.
