It looks like a Trichocereus Peruvianus. Any active Trichocereus carries the common name of "San Pedro", so yes, it's San Pedro. You can pot it up as it is, or trim the roots, dust them in sulfur and let them heal for a few days, then pot.

I usually trim roots generously when I re-pot cactus & succulents, dusted in sulfur as well. The main reason is so the roots don't bind up and constrict each other, or get planted folded over. It's also easier to plant a cactus that has had a trim. The last of the big reasons is that it makes the plant younger and lets it send new roots out for a new pot.

It probably won't hurt the cactus to plant it as-is, but you can see the roots are holding the shape of the pot and they will get larger and thicker while holding that same shape.

Before and after a root trim.



I'll also add that you should *never* water in a cactus after re-potting. Let the fluffy dirt breath and the roots settle in for at least a few days.
