Was planning to list it for sale somewhere, but no idea what to price it at. Any idea? Is it even worth someone's time fixing it up?

It’s oxidation on the pickups. This will not short anything. This person has no clue what they are talking about.
A guitar pickup, wires and magnets, don’t suddenly start shocking people and shorting amps with “rust” or oxidation.
I've been looking at my trust axe sideways after reading that comment. I've been playing it and it's corroded pickups for 20 years and I'm not dead yet. So, must not be that big of a risk.
The rust was from my parents basement growing up. Our house was built into a hill and it's a high humidity environment. Didn't take proper care of it until later life. She's no gem, but she's mine.
