Question about steel integrity

Okay folks I have a question about this vintage Pogliaghi frame I'm looking to buy. So I am corresponding with this guy who owns a bike shop and over the years has taken in quite a few vintage bikes on trade. One such bike is a late 70s early 80s Pogliaghi. It is a sante pogliaghi as it is stamped JSM with the serial number. Anyways the guy is real honest and in one of the pics he sent me of the frame there are 3 tiny lines in the paint. He says they are from the frame at one time being bent and bent back into place. My question is how big of a deal is this? Obviously this will effect the value of the bike however I'm mostly concerned about the structural integrity of it. Will this effect the ride or the durability of the frame? I have always wanted a Pogliaghi for my personal collection. This isn't something I would resale however I would like to ride it. What do you guys think? Thank you as always!
