The you can plug the chip in a regular IC socket, and then plug the loose leads to the same socket, just to hold everything in place, so you can try resoldering the legs back. And then, if all that works well, use some epoxi adhesive to mechanically reinforce the joints. It's a lot of work, but I managed to do that on some rare ICs from old 8 bit computers.

I don't think it is home repairable, the pins are well and truly detached.
