Be Bold.. Man up and BUY SOMETHING.
you've been on Ebay.. and there are other sources of these BBs..
they even come up on FB marketplace and my local CL bike parts page at times.
they last indefinitely, if they are cleaned/greased occasionally, and don't get neglected....
yours looks like it was neglected in the rain, or ran at WAY too tight of an adjustment, prompting meltdown.
