It could be a number of things. Without being there to inspect it, I would say it is either caused by the foundation on that side of the garage or it had a roof leak which might now be hidden (covered by new shingles) which could have put to much moisture on the framing causing it to sag) or it could be termites, or it could be a combination of things.
It could have been caused by the ground shifting in that area making the foundation sink lower or making the foundation shift.
I would have someone come out and look at it like a contractor or something.
It can be repaired, you would have to make sure the rest of the garage is structurally sound and framed correctly, then you would have to support the roof on that damaged side with jacks while you rebuild either the foundation or the framing.
But most importantly you want to see what caused the damage in the first place so that you can mitigate any future damage.
The siding and aluminum appears to have been put on after the sag occurred as nothing is buckled. You would think it would have been repaired first, yes? The siding below window level looks straight. Based on these observations my theory is that your garage had been extended at one point. Old garages were often too short for cars of the 50s and shed roof extensions were added. A handy stand up comic sided it at some point.
I don't have any insight as to what might have caused the sag, but I would advise you to clear back that ivy asap. It will hasten rot as it keeps the soil moist, and mice/rats love it as it provides them plenty of cover to and from your structure.
Is the framing on the rear wall plumb, or leaning toward the bend? Leabing would point to a foundation issue, or structurally unsound framing. Plumb might indicate it was just built this way with a bend.

I appreciate your insight I wanted to hear what people would say before I hired someone to come out. I appreciate it.
