Possible fert. burn but, hard to say since I have no history/conditions on this plant. Could even be the leaves are simply "mashed" by rough handling given the location of the damage (midway of leaves, near the edge of the terra cotta pot). Either way the plant looks relatively healthy overall. Try leaving it alone and let it dry out, nearly to the point of wilting, then water a little and see if it doesn't repond in a few hours.

I got to thinking about this plant and its symptoms. I keep coming back to the location of the damage. Noticed a "salt ring" on the inside of this pot. Has it been used for another grow? I would re-pot as you suggested and put the plant higher in the new pot. Fill with potting soil. Water until it drains and the soil settles down to about 1/2-3/4" below the edge of the pot. Don't put the rootball any deeper than it was orginally and prune off the damage. Should be fine.
