This use of passive voice is appropriate because the identity of the performer is unknown (or concealed), and because the focus of the sentence is the condition of the willow tree.
The alternative in the active voice would be "Someone's carelessness has (had) badly damaged the old willow tree."
Yes, it is appropriate to use the passive voice in this sentence to emphasize the action done to the willow tree rather than the one performing it. It shifts the focus to the tree's condition rather than the person responsible for the damage, which can be more effective in evoking a sense of concern or lamentation.
