Yup. SO was attempting to take out the bedroom A/C and dropped it out
the window, right on top of my foundation planting rosebud azalea.

It broke off quite a few branches at the back of the plant, but seems to
have missed the center, though there is some scratching of the bark.

Is it time to buy a new one, or will the plant be able to grow new
branches with time?

I'd replace it and be sure to move the new plant away from your house
a bit more. Don't destroy the damaged plant but place it in a nursery
for added attention AKA care. Use the damaged plant for layering
experiments a possibility.
