Old frame, overtightened kickstand, safe?

I recently came into owning a 1977 Nishiki International. I was going to clean it up but as I was disassembling it I noticed the previous owner really did a number on the frame by over tightening the kickstand causing the tube to flatten. It deformed the tube enough that the paint on the side is cracking. I don't see any visible cracking of the metal however. Safe to ride?
