+1 The fact that the headset came out by hand confirms the headtube is damaged also. Headset cups should be a very tight fit and should have to be driven out with some effort.

A frame builder could repair it by replacing the damaged tubes and repainting the frame but the cost will be prohibitive unless the frame has great value otherwise. Scrap it.
