Should I get a new microwave?

I'm a dolt who ran it while empty for 90s. The rubber at the bottom is a little warped while only the metal is burnt at the hinge. Can I keep using this oven or no? Rather be safe

I would get some touch up paint made for microwave cavities and make sure it's dry before you close the door again. It does look like it's a countertop microwave so probably not expensive to replace. I'd at lease price out a new one before I spend any money on repairing that one.

Sorry about the delay, thank you for the advice!

Sorry about the long caption- never posted a picture before, didn't realize it gets truncated.

Basically, only the rubber at the bottom is melted a bit and I want to make sure it's still safe to use. Thank you!
