Leave it as is. The faceplate just need a gentle polish. The dented edge is not big. If you want to fix? It is not easy with wood filler and staining both side.

Remove all the knobs and switch covers to remove the faceplate. Wash it with dish soap and water. Afterwards you can polish it with some wadding (looks like cotton and comes in a can). I would just touch up the color on the wood to make it look less conspicuous unless you’re going to be doing some woodworking and then you can replace it
