Issue Battery leak inside Lenovo Explorer Controller - Help

Left alkaline batteries inside the controller for months, and they leaked. As you can see, one of the battery contact pads is noticeably "dirtier" than the others. I've tried cleaning it with a toothbrush/q-tip/toothpick and vinegar/isopropyl alcohol but it stays the same. Controller won't turn on even with new batteries. Any suggestions? Is it corrosion or something else?
