Hard to tell; could be.

Have it pressure-checked.

Can't see why one would scrap a car just because an already tore-down motor in OBVIOUS need of a PROPER rebuild including boring, just because the core block casting is bad. Seems kinda ... brutal .... to me.

 

That's the best image.

 

A block is like $50 or something. Maybe $150 if it's already bored, as one can see from the visibly egg-shaped wear, that one needs to be, if the motor that it's built into is not desired to smoke like a freight train and push the dipstick out and leak shamelessly and all those other wonderful things motors do when combustion and crankcase aren't kept separate.

I would consider it a gift of knowledge, a sign; not a "problem". Kept you from doing something you'll seriously regret.
