It's from my 67 barracuda. It was running like that. Probably just leave it. Just curious.

Doesn't look like a factory "dent". Maybe a little heat & carefully hammer & dollying it out since you have it off?
 
Probably just a pucker from the draw operation in the stamping .
I have a 394 pan that doesn’t have it ,,,but it’s in the same vicinity of the corner radius.

But my pan is from a later year,,,68 I think,,,,and they might have corrected the die by then .

Knowing a little about forming metal I have to agree with desoto. It just doesn't look like a dent.
 
It's a 70-72, 318 or 340 oil pan to fit all the Mopars, A,B,C and E bodies. I have several of them and none of them have that dent. Being in the front, I would think something on the road hit it.
Yup, it's a 340.
