This is one where a frame table would reveal all very quickly.

It could be a quick and simple realignment project you could do yourself, if you want to try it, but I could not see too much danger doing such a relatively small adjustment on the frame. Heck, frankly, through the years, I've known guys to continue to ride their bikes with similar amounts of misalignments without any problems.... they sometimes just straighten the wheel position by adjusting their rear dropout axle stop screws.
There was a recent thread on cold setting. That's all this rear triangle needs. Bottom line: do it yourself if you're comfortable with that, or take it to a person with a frame table. The person with the frame table will get all the tubes perfect, including the main triange. The DIY one is quicker, but you have to be comfortable bending the frame.
Either way, there's no reason to junk it.
