Those are forged mild steel dropouts (Campy 1010B) and should be trivial to fix cold.

Check the adjuster hole area and the closed end of the slot carefully for cracks; that is a common place for failure. If you see cracks, do not despair. Just fill the adjuster hole with brass before painting and it should be fine. You may as well do the other side and the portacatena holes at the same time to preclude future trouble. Those threaded adjusters aren't strictly required and often are more nuisance than they're worth.

N.B. the frame is definitely worth $75.
