I would say its clearly dangerous now. The question now is, can it be cut and still be usable. Without building up the bike the fork would go on, how would I know if its going to be long enough when cut?
Bah what a bummer. Clearly damaged from the lock ring tab pushing in. Plus the ID looks like the steerer was rusted in then forcibly turned to remove. Unless this is a unicorn better condition forks aren't hard to find
