    That iPhone probably still works. The rear has corrosion of the aluminum case. It's not rust. It's still intact. The connectors and ports have seals, and being underground, the seals likely have not dried out. Once the charge port is cleaned out, charge it up and it will work.
    The camera is intact because the lens is quartz and is not reactive to galvanic corrosion.
