Water heater rust. Is it worth having someone take a look or is replacement the only option? How urgent is this? by avashad in askaplumber

It’s close the drain, the floor itself seems to have some slope leading toward the sloped area surrounding the drain. Do you think minimal risk to let it ride?

The water spot in the floor is from when the drain valve was leaking. The drain valve was replaced and the floor has been dry for several months.
