That bit of metal looks like a bent pin to me, as in bent up and outwards which is unusual.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Is the socket knackered?

No it’s the leg on the new chip that’s bent I think

Just grabbed a pic to show the state the floppy cable was in when I got the machine and noticed that piece of metal isn't there.

So yeah, looks like a disaster.

Yeah as PhilC rightly says, looks like the bottom of that pin got caught on insertion and has bent/folded on itself. Just take it out and straighten it back up again.

There's supposed to be a plastic clip covering that floppy connector, perhaps it has fallen off while being unplugged?

Don't worry you can re-crimp it without specialist tools if you find it.
