How sensitive are electrolytic capacitors for physical damage?

Just got some electrolytic capacitors and noticed that some of them are quite damaged phyisically. The ”hat” is squeezed as if it’s been pressed against something or as if someone has clamped it with a plier, making it more oval than circle in it’s shape. How sensitive are these capacitors for damages like rhis? Would that affect the funtionality of it?
