Looks (to me) like someone had used those fan blades as a press/pry point at some time, most likely when the bearings were last changed. I would venture a guess that is also the reason the winding's started to cook off and burn up the insulation. Bearings are cheap enough, but I would watch that motor like a hawk if I were you if/when it runs again. I'm doubtful that it will run for long if it does run.    



p.s.
I just noticed in your first picture that the blades at the rear of the rotor (near the centrifugal start switch) appear to be smashed totally flat!
