Doesn't look like a problem. Looks like you dropped your laptop.
The ethernet port is the giveaway. its all bent out of shape.

of course, you could destroy it. Don't let my judgment blur yours.
on a side note I did it to my old MBP, no problems there. If you do decide to give it a try just make sure you are damned care full, and start from the back.
Your friend dropped it. Hopefully he told you.
If you're not too scared, I second trying a rubber hammer. There is, of course, definitely a risk in doing so. If not, you may just have to live with it as its not something that will be covered by warranty.

yeah, the ethernet port is a must check on the unibody if your buying second hand, its the weakest point in the construction, so it will reveal wether is has been dropped or not.
and how many have you personally taken a hammer to exactly?
op - don't do this. either live with it or get it fixed properly.
If you are going to use a rubber hammer, you might as well use all the tools at your disposal. Check out this tutorial, which shows you what sort of result to expect:
