Rear Struts. Replace both?

Thought I had a bent up sub frame so I took my car to a body shop.

The body shop owner put the car on a new laser-based four wheel alignment machine and determined that a front control arm was bent (explaining why it pulled to the right a bit) and that a rear strut was bent and needed replacement, which is causing the back wheels to be

My question is this: Do I have to replace both rear struts at the same time, or can I simply replace the one that is bent?

The car is a 1997 and I am not sure if the struts have ever been replaced.

Background info: I bought this car 4th hand and it was abused before I got it... I've not been doing ANY curb surfing or wrecked the car since it was in my possession. Just thought I'd add this to keep the non-question-related posting to a minimum!
