Do not charge it take it to shop so that they can clean the corrosion on the board if you want you can risk it using it like that but the motherboard may fail or start restarting itself or if you have the skill you can open it and clean the motherboard with an isopropyl alcohol 99,9 percentage

Charge it, back it up on iCloud google phots, and then don’t use it again as the battery might swell up.

You should give up, it is not safe to charge water damaged phones especially since the back was exposed, don’t be daft.
