If you are lucky, it only destroyed the solder points and/or wires of the battery compartment - that is a DIY fix. If the acid has eaten traces off the PCB and no original spares are available any more, a seasoned electronics hobbyist could re-build the PCB within a few days of work, but having that done professionally would exceed the price of even the most expensive new flash...

As Sevo said, it depends a bit. Best would be to take it far enough apart to check the parts well and clean them if needed. They will need a good clean. The green rust should be completely abraded away and then the springs recoated. Could be some laquer on the parts that don't make contact and a bit of tinning on tharts that do make contact.
AFAIK Tamron doesn't service the Bronica gear anymore.
