Yes for two reasons. It ended the Viking threat to Britain in general. After Hardrada was killed Danish and Norgwegian kings were justifably disinclined to invade Britain.
On the other hand the battle weakened the huscarl contingent of the English army enough to expose Harold to extra dangers in the later battle at Hastings. Harold probably lost Hastings because his bodyguard of Huscarls could not keep him safe from Normans aiming to cut him down as he stood under his personal banned "TheFighting Man." with 50 extra Huscarls it's likely Harold would have survived the day and then bolstered by arriving reinforcements, driven William back to Normandy.
