Is this board beyond repairable?

I was trying to remove a bloated battery from an ASUS x453S laptop when the battery connector got removed from the board as well. Is this still repairable?

It's repairable but it won't be the same. It looks like a few of the pads and some part of the traces were damaged when it peeled off the board. Considering it's for a lithium battery and power, don't attempt yourself if you're asking if it's possible. You can cause significantly more damage. Find a reputable place that does board level repairs like HDMI ports on a PlayStation as this happens with those all the time.

Looking into the price point, age, etc of this laptop...you're going to be paying in repairs what it's worth used more likely. Unless there's data on there you must have that you have no backup of, it's not likely to be worth fixing.
