Outdrive Prop Damage

This is normal maintenance on my fishing boats with outboards.

Easier to pick up a solas amita from iboats.com for $110 (last time I bought one) than have it repaired.

If memory serves most of the factory Volvo SX's were aluminum. They can be repaired and never know the difference from a new one as long as the damage wasn't too extensive. When they have strong bends or large chunks out of the blades it gets somewhat iffy. Some repair shops may tell you they can do it successfully but I've heard of too many that didn't turn out too good.   Best to just buy new if it's bad (which it doesn't look bad at all from your pictures) or like Todd says file out the nicks and go on down the channel.
Volvo used to offer a "cheap" steel prop that was painted to give extra strength without the cost of polished stainless and those could usually be consistently repaired well, but I'm not sure they offered them with the SX drives. If so, this would likely be a bit cheaper in the long run than buying new, and with the added weight of steel vs aluminum you are better off getting it as close to perfectly formed an balanced as possible lest you have increasing vibrations as rpm increases.
My 2 cents. (or so)

I have run much worse condition props. I would just file the burrs off.
