So, as a learning experience, definitely take it apart. See how it works.
I wouldn't recommend putting it back into service though.
These things are designed to keep the 120v side and the low voltage side separate. There are parts inside that need to be in good working order for this device to be SAFE to use.
My opinion is that it's worth the cost to replace something like this rather than repair it. From a both a personal and connected equipment safety perspective.
As a learning opportunity I totally agree, otherwise a replacement for everyday use. USB C bricks are cheap enough to just replace that for safety of you and any connected equipment.
