I would disassemble it. The drill might be salvageable if you can prevent the internal electronics from corroding away. The battery on the other hand, it is probably shot. Being a lithium-ion battery, it has an internal circuit board which has been powered up the entire time.
With the cost of most batteries you'd probably spend near the cost of the drill just to replace the battery.

It stayed on the bottom for 2 days but yesterday I was able to retrieve it, flushed it with fresh water, dried it and sprayed it later with WD-40 and left it to dry out in the garage. Is it a 'lost cause'? Should I have just left it on the bottom?
