Any ideas? Is this worth trying to fix?

Yes and yes. I'm not sure what the tape over the capacitor(?) in the corner is about, but it looks like only the battery and contacts are missing. If this is the case you can simply buy a battery (it's a standard type still in production IIRC), solder your own contacts on and tape it down. You'll also need to know where it's safe to apply solder on these chips, and an iron to do the work. I mean you could probably just tape everything down, but I cringe at the thought of someone not doing a respectfully proper job on an original GB cart.
