Any idea whether this looks rodent-caused?

Definately rodent and probably rat but difficult to tell without anything
of known size to scale the gnaw marks by, could be squirrel I guess as
well. You've had a lucky escape, so far, in that it's slow leak and not a
proper hole...

I might take another pic with a scale marker...

and perhaps more importantly whether the tank should be replaced...

Replace, they are cheap and whilst you are at it fit a proper Byelaw 30
kit, or at the very least an insulating jacket and lid.

Insulating jacket against the extremes of hot and cold in a loft, one
assumes? (this being a cold water tank afaict)
