could the incorrectly supplied password damage rar archive content(mp3
files), i.e. when we do supply wrong pass, so RAR tries extract content, but
operation fails?

No, that doesn't damage the archive and if you are using WinRar you can check
the archive by Test Archive option.
By the way, what are you trying to do ? Cracking a file...

I doubt it would change the original file; it would just extract to the
wrong pw, then fail.. But you can test this yourself. Make a copy of a
test file, then enter the wrong password. After it fails, try the
extract again with the correct password.
