With the cost of most batteries you'd probably spend near the cost of the
drill just to replace the battery.

Is it a 'lost cause'?  Should I have just left it on the bottom?

Next time look at eBay/Amazon, usually you can get new batteries for much less

I have heard that the best way to dry an electrical item is to put it in an 
oven at low heat.  I have a drill motor like yours that I bought on sale at Ace 
hardware.  BTW, I assume you still have a second battery so if you can salvage
