Hackberry,
That's pretty bad damage. I'd consider removing it.

Is it threatening any structures? I agree, that's pretty bad damage, on the other hand, hackberrys are tough old birds. If it isn't threatening anything, I'd just let it be. If you are asking if there's anything you can do about it, just let it be.

Would it be possible to have an arborist cable it for support to keep it from splitting more?
Sure, but decay has already set in and will only get worse. Is it threatening any structures?
Included bark, this was always going to fail at some point, something to be aware of. An otherwise nice tree, I would pollard and try and save it!
Good luck
