Is it hackable? Absolutely. It's connected to the net. Even if
every one of the ba-shitload of services you've got listening there is
updated to its latest believed-secure level, someone somewhere may
have unreleased "0day" exploits for that service and can own you.

So the better question is "is it hack-resistant enough for the
sensitivity of data that is on this server?"

An nmap scan alone isn't going to tell you that, so even that question
is unanswerable, but I will offer this: for a server directly
connected to the net that is an AWFUL lot of services listening.

I'd be surprised if any penetration tester of reasonable skill
couldn't find at least one way in given that list of listening ports.

So, I'd be willing to bet that the answers to your subject questions
are no, and yes respectively.
