It’s steel so technically should be able to be repaired.

I think a lot of the drop outs like this are brazed. If you run a file over the darker material where it has broken away it would be a bronze colour rather than silver colour like steel would be.
If it is brazed you Might be able to get a gas torch and some braking rods and flux paste and clean up the tube and drop out and braze it again. Or find a local plumber or radiator repair company who likes old bikes who may be able to help

your dropout is exposing it’s unmentionables 😳
How much should this cost?
