New (to me!) '77 CB400F - US model
K2-K6:
It looks consistent with just falling over onto the floor while stationary to me. If the gear lever is not ground away underside of tip, it would verify this. Perhaps fallen off its side stand.
Signal brackets, I'd bend them back again either by supporting with something like a socket on the back/frame side of the bracket and tapping the face with a hammer to bring them back to flat.
If the frame ends have also twisted, you can use an adjustable spanner on them to gently twist back to vertical to maintain alignment once the signals are mounted.

Thanks K2-K6 - based on my brief investigations thus far, I'm thinking that "tapping" might be underselling somewhat the effort that will be needed... but I'm at work this week, where there's access to a decent vice and lots of tools, including a wide variety of hammers...

How much play should the side stand have? Mine seems loose, whether its up or deployed. A very short video:

I take it we can't embed youtube videos here?

Well that side stand is too loose wrong bolt maybe securing it to the frame
