That does not look too bad. Use some solder wick to take off the excess solder. Use tweezers or a pick to straighten out the pins so that they are not touching. Make sure those solder pads that were pulled up were not used and are gone.

At first look, I was thinking the same thing... after looking more closely, it looks like pin 240 is completely gone, and 239 is detached. Plus, most likely more pins will break once you try straightening them. :-/

If it was my personal board, I'd probably attempt the fix... I wouldn't bother on someone else's board though... probably not worth the shipping cost, time/effort, and it'd end up being fragile. Swapping the chip with a donor is probably a much better solution, unless for some reason that particular chip is super rare or something (or just keep the board around as a parts board).
