Interestingly, struck ships are not specifically mentioned, but I would classify that as "surrendered". Struck ships, however, can still be boarded (in the rules) even though they cannot be fired at. I currently have a live frigate adjacent to both an active friend, and a struck enemy, but my only option is to TBP to the friendly.
Original Rules, VIII.D.1.b, says, neither side si allowed to fire on the struck ship.
Also, VII.A.4.b DOES mention hulks, i.e., struck ship.
