It's obvious, they didn't drain the tank. That's a very important step in proper winterization.
If you have a friend who could weld it for you for nothing , it would be worth it. But if you have to pay someone, it may not be worth it.

If it's an Atwood water heater, replacement tanks are available.

The Atwood tank in my Prowler looked similar when I got it.
It was the original 1988 water heater, so I replaced the whole thing for under $300 (pilot only model)
Also had to replace every drain trap and the water inlet valve on the toilet!
Obvious the previous owner never winterized.
