Simply as a precaution (and it looks like the fins have taken a set) I'd replace it, and the housing. Cheap insurance IMVHO

IS THIS RIGHT
The blades often turn when the engine is stopped nothing to worry about, Don't use aftermarket impellers use genuine, these impellers should be replaced every year.

looks like the housing's melted, presumably, no cooling water spilling into the exhaust!
plastic bag round the lower?

Burty
Lubricate the impeller (fairy liquid)
Then just gently force the water pump housing down over the impeller whilst turning the drive shaft clockwise. This should force all the impeller blades in the same direction
