You might still be able to use it if you carefully superglue back the plastic part.

A more permanent fix would be to replace the SATA connector and solder a new one by someone with the proper skillset.

The important parts are still in good shape, don't throw it away!

If it's dead then it's no risk, right? Afterwards it's either working or still dead.
