So, I finally got to testing all my devices to see if they still work. My D-Terminal doesn't work. I opened it up and notice there was a battery leak. The picture attached shows the damage. Is this salvageable?

It doesn't look too bad to me. The most important thing is whether any copper on the PCB has been eaten through. You'll also need to reattach the battery wire.

This particular soldering task isn't too difficult. I recommend getting a basic iron and practice kit. If you can complete the practice kit, you're more than ready to fix that wire.
