Is my maple tree okay/salvagable? I assume this is bark inclusion

Question

Hi, I didn’t plant this Norway maple but my dad did about 15 years ago and my dad never exactly cared for the trees beyond planting them. 

 

There’s an area of this tree I don’t see as often because there’s a willow bush in front, but I went there today to remove some grass and noticed all the black marks along the stem. I first assumed wetwood but now I assume this is bark inclusion? I absolutely adore this tree and I’m devastated thinking of anything happening to it. Can this be fixed or helped in any way?

Just to update an arborist came to see it, completely correct that it’s some bark inclusion and co-dominant stems but he thinks with the location it’s in if its height is just managed and kept a bit shorter and thinned out a bit every few years the prognosis is good. Thank you all for helping me know to even ask about pruning and cabling!!
