Great you used a mouth mirror to share a clear image!
It seems you might have some dental awareness/background as you used the word " impaction "too.
In my opinion ,since the upper left wisdom tooth is partially erupted ,carious and impacted against upper left 7,it would be better to remove it ,as it is inaccessible for cleaning and filling and can cause distal decay in 7(upper second molar tooth)if left for long.
Next Steps
Schedule a dental evaluation

Hello
It is not recommended to do filling because the tooth is impacted
Better go for tooth extraction when you have pain

Hello
This tooth seems not completely erupted
So right now filling prognosis canât be judged
First, visit a dentist and get an X-ray done and see if it is in proper alignment then you can go for filling
Or else, extraction
