smoking alternator terminal-to-cable-connector connection Yaris

What would OP's smoking alternator terminal-to-cable-connector connection do to the working parts of the alternator?
--Locally heat up the terminal post and what is touching it.
--Make alternator work full power all the time to maintain desired output voltage to system. (OP's voltage drop measurements suggest this.)

I don't see that either of these effects would have necessarily hurt the alternator...do think I'll double-check that connection.
