Took a chance on a cheap cartridge from eBay. Is this at all salvageable?

Only purchased because it seemed legitimate from the 2 low quality photos (backside had GameStop sticker so it was working at some point lol). $14 for Castlevania seemed like a good deal... Until I opened the cartridge. Processed refund immediately, only problem is I'm stuck with this now. I don't know jack when it comes to soldering/swapping chips to new boards to save cartridges so my question is, is this at all salvageable? I've been wrong before so I thought I should ask those who are more knowledgeable than I. Thanks
