The corrosion went deep and compromised the rubber seal. That pin is supposed to be nearly flush with the surface. Even the plastic ring at the bottom of the filter screen is supposed to be embedded in metal.
For this, I recommend product called Liquid Steel. It's 2-part epoxy reinforced with metal powders. I add additional metal shavings for strength. It can be cut, machined and even tapped for threads just like metal!

Fill up that cavity, especially sides where seal would sit. Once you've got seal supported underneath, that should be good. Also a little Yamabond-4 when re-assembling takes care of any gaps. Testing out repair 1st on electrolysis bath would be good trial run.
