I found a b550 mother board in the trash on garbage day I hope the pictures can show decently

I’m 80% it’s water damage but not entirely sure.
The cmos battery terminal did have a small amount of rust on the inside as well.
I have a cpu coming to test it with. But before I do I wanted to make sure.
I plan on cleaning the motherboard throughly with 99% isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush.
So my big question is this water damage and is there a way to test it without potentially frying my components? I have a gpu I’m willing to lose but the cpu I don’t want to risk it.
Any help would be appreciated and advice would be great.
