Broken nipple

A nipple broke on my commute yesterday, leaving the spoke to flop there uselessly

The wheel immediately went pretty far out of true

Is this a sign I should replace the rim or should I just replace the nipple, re true and keep riding?

the rims are arraya gold 700c clinchers laced to suntour cyclone track hubs so yeah, not new...
