Get someone to take a better look at it than us on the internet, but it looks okay at first glance.
I wouldn’t be very worried about it coming down in the near future, but lighting strikes require monitoring.
I’d venture a guess that this tree will be alright. That’s not a lot of bark loss and should the bones of the tree be okay it can callous over that wound pretty easily. If there is more substantial internal damage (which I don’t necessarily expect) then the health of the tree could change drastically and quickly.
If you want to put some effort in to help the tree out and give it better chances call and arborist and they can give you some plant healthcare options
