I am switching out my power source, and see that a few metal prongs are missing from almost all of the cables. Is this something I should be worried about? I read a few forums that said it shouldn't be a problem with the 24 prong cable. What about for the Sata and CPU cables that connect to the power source? I provided an image of one of the cables with a missing metal prong.

That's normal. Usually just older power supplies will have that; it's not used on modern motherboards. You don't need to worry about it missing.

You can see the pinout below (24 pin). I've also linked the Wikipedia page if you want to read that.
