Battery coating damage - can I reuse?

Hi, I appear to have damaged the silver coating of the battery while removing it to replace a broken screen (see photo). I can’t see any obvious tears/holes in the coating. Can this battery be reused or do I need to replace it? Thanks in advance.

My criteria for replacing a battery (assuming it's working fine) is if A) the coating has been pierced, or B) the battery has been bent/deformed. I don't see any tears in the outer coating and what I can see of it looks perfectly flat, so if it was mine, I would reuse it.
