Bent handlebar

While on the phone here in my office this afternoon I glanced over at my Gitane Sprint and noticed the right side of the handlebar looked bent. I hadn't noticed this before so after the phone call I took a closer look and it, indeed, appears to have maybe fallen over at some point in the past and landed on that side?? The frame and fork look ok so I think it's just the bars. These are Atax Philippe alloy bars that say Franco Italia on them.

Is it worth trying to put a little pressure on it to see if it will straighten out or should I just say forget it and replace them?
