The repair guy who I'd given my pc to recently replaced the sata cable without telling me with a 90 degree one and I ended up pulling it and breaking the sata port on the hdd. Feel angry and dumb. The end part on one of the pins is missing. I have the data backed up on an external drive but dont want to spend 3.4k on a new drive which might be faulty.

Will it be stable, should I attempt to replace its pcb or should I just get a new drive?

Drive in question is WD10ezrx wd green 1tb 2015 model
 
SInce your data is already backed up, buy a new hdd. There's no guarantee the drive will work if you repair it.
