I can't see the photo at work, but you said 1/2" from shoulder.
What you can do with this tire safely has to do with damage caused by the nail and what kind of repair was performed. Now I am playing devil's advocate here, because that is not a good place for tire damage. But if it was a skinny nail with a clean puncture and you didn't drive on it too much, then theoretically it would not change the internal structure of the tire. Hot patch from inside and you might have a close-to-new repair. More likely is a big nail worked in at an angle and you drove on it, tearing the shoulder a bit. I would not stress the tire.
