So, in this case, what I would suggest if Apple won't repair it, due to the age of the model of course, is to take it to a third-party repair shop such as iFixit or UBreakIFix. Places like those can repair them for you if the damage isn't too extensive.

I’m just gonna leave this here:
Obsolete: iOS Devices that were discontinued 7 or more years ago. No longer eligible for repair worldwide. Example: this iPad Mini 1st Gen
Vintage: iOS devices that were discontinued between 5 and 7 years ago. No longer eligible for repair outside of the US, Turkey and France. Example: iPhone 6
Unsupported: iOS devices discontinued less than 5 years ago that do not support the latest version of iOS. Example: iPhone 8
