It looks like it's been there for a while. I would not do anything to
it. Keep an eye on it. You don't want water laying in it to rot the
tree.

The whole center of the tree is already rotten. Didn't you notice the other
rotting broken off limb sticking out the other side? If its likely to fall on
something, I'd consider taking it down if it was in my yard.
