Default Vacuum pump fail/fix question

So I have a 461 and made one pull tonight and then a light highway cruise home at about 2500/3000 rpm at most. When I got her home and in the garage I noticed my vacuum pump threw the belt. It must have happened during the pull and then rode home with the belt off.

Firstly……would that 25 min ride home on the highway with my vacuum pump not working hurt my engine at all? It had good oil pressure the whole time the only thing I noticed was some leaking out of the rubber grommet I have plugged.

Also….The problem with the pump is the pulley plate on the crank is wobbly and I think either it isn’t seated right or warped. If it is warped can I get a machine shop to make it perfectly level or would I have to get a new one from butler?

Thank you all as always
