looks like some one has been working in there too lately , you want to double check the one hose clamp [spring type one ] and do they still use screw type clamps ?
It's hard to tell for sure from the picture showing the end but it looks like the area around the outside of the terminal has been broken for a while and the rougher area at the center finally let go.

The picture was taken by the tech getting prepared to fix it. I’m not sure what you mean by the screw type clamp? The stainless steel clamp looks normal to me. To answer your question, the motor has never been replaced and is the original. The only thing done was an exhaust system and high flow cats. I don’t think that would require any of this to be undone for installation.

Has any work been done in that area?

yeah it’s a clean break! Crazy…. What do you mean? Do you have a C8 to compare? GM has already replaced the part and didn’t say anything else needed to be replaced other than the cable itself.

Its a mystery. But when certain work is done, its common practice to disconnect the battery. Usually its the negative cable and usually at the battery end. Doesn't seem to explain this.
Positive Battery Cable Failure
