Bent swing arm?

I'd appreciated it if some of you would verify that what appears to be a bend in the swing arm is normal. (I don't know why the picture downloaded upside down.)

I was cleaning things up, preparing to reinstall the rear wheel after mounting a tire. I about freaked out when I see what looks like a bend in the left inside of the swing arm. Before I removed the wheel the alignment was off in the direction consistent with such a bend. I looked on line to see what a used swing arm would cost. The first thing I came to had a picture showing the same bend. (This picture is also upside down, and I'm thinking, well these guys don't know what they are selling. Then I attach my picture and it's upside down too!)
