Definition of battery bombed?

Just picked this SE/30 up for a song. Turns out the song was 'The End of the World As We Know It'.

The loose item that was rolling around inside the SE/30 when I picked it up was the battery, freed from it's home by it's companion, corrosion.
One of the capacitors is so gone, it resembles a stalagmite.
Not sure what's next.
Time for one of the Bolle reloaded logic boards?
Or is there someone that can actually fix this?

The good news is the case, frame, disk drive, CRT and analog board are all fine.

it is battery bombed

probably would be a reloaded candidate, but try and clean it off first
agreed, I've also seen a Macintosh Classic logic board that got that bad, but it was a parts machine for a Classic whose tube I necked, so I just relegated it to ewaste after neutralizing the battery acid
 
Is there a US source for the ATTiny85 on it's own PCB? Looking for the RTC/crystal replacement for a SE/30.
I've found them in the UK but not here.
Thanks
