Yes, not technically in the safe zone. No shop will touch it.

What I would do:
Hit it with soapy water and see if it bubbles. If bubbles, you know it went through. Personally, I would try to plug this and see if I felt the belts when reaming the hole. If so, I would plug it and drive on it, obviously checking the integrity of the plug for a few days.

If it does not bubble, just pull the nail. Sometimes these nails are short, or go in very crooked. Once you pull the object, hit it with soapy water again. If no bubbles you are done.

In my experience, I have never had a nail puncture that did not bubble unless it went through.

I would not drive on it with the object still in the tread. Eventually it may go deeper. So I don't agree with the advice to just drive on it if it's not leaking.

Just looking at the shape of the thing, looks like it went in crooked.
