Silvie,
an old Fujica huh? I had one like this many years ago.
It will do the goods, just as it is.
The grubby marks on the focus screen will not affect your image, as the mirror flips up, and covers the screen during exposure so no drama there. Be careful that this crap doesn't get onto the shutter blinds though, as this will cause you some conternation.
Find an older camera repair sorta guy, and appeal to his sense of history. At the price you paid for it, it will cost a bomb to fix, but if you are in love with it then maybe it is worth it.
As far as I can tell the foam is to provide a buffer for when the mirror hits the bottom of the screen/pentaprism area. I am sure you could live without it, as long as the crud isn't everywhere inside. I know what you mean about being sticky though.

P.S. You have to be an old fart to remember these old cameras.
