They are easy to open, the screws are under potting compound, you have to gouge that out first.

Look inside, dry it out, try it and if it fails bin it and replace.

As anotherkiwi says, open it up and let it dry out for a day or more in a warm place, for example an airing cupboard. If the damp is inside the LCD display it can take this time to evaporate.

This is my current display
Going out on a limb here but I think those ones with the buttons in the box may be less water resistant than the LCD-3 with separate buttons. Mine have taken a shower many a time with no apparent water ingress.

LCD2 or 3 with separate toggle buttons are better waterproofed, my LCD2 is used in all weathers and doesn't suffer.

Your one is the LCD 5 has similar setting adjustments as the 3 model but has integrated buttons.

Yes we'll took the unit stripped down let the open unit take intense sunshine and heat by that then after 4 hours reassemble using clear silicone sealant and screwed it firmly then placed sealant in all gaps ie wiring inlet and screw mountings
