I'm not sure the PCB can rust. Lead or other solder and copper should not at least, and the FR4 must be unaffected. If it's spills, it's more likely that it got into the switches causing contact issues.

Even if there's rust, those could be bridged with some solder I guess. But then the question of course is, is it worth the hassle.
