Its still difficult to be sure, but I think the copper pads are still there, based on the silver grey colour of the feet on the connector (dry joint or fractured broken joint) and the reflected white/silver colour on the board - but I really cant tell if that is just reflected light off the white substrate or solder that is a dry joint/fractured.
I would have expected the feet to be gold, brown or copper coloured and the board to be darker, but anyone inspecting the board for you will be able to tell in an instant.
Im really guessing with those pics
If you have a multimeter - put it on ohms and measure across one of the pads without touching the far edges of the pad.
Do not measure across two different pads as I have no idea what sort of circuitry those pads connect to or what sort of multimeter you have
If it still conducts you have a pad (good news) if it doesnt conduct (that means you are just touching bare non conductive circuit board) then its gone (not so good news) but not necessarily bad beyond repair.
How deep are the craters where the pads came off - if they are deeper than the surrounding board then not so good, but if the same height or higher thats good!
Do you have any idea how or when the connector broke off the board ?
You can always contact SBIG and send them your best pictures - Im sure they will get back to you quickly with availability of parts or repair options.
Without checking one of mine, it looks like the connector is not double edged - ie all the connections from both sides of the connector pads appear bridged on the PCB so that actually makes it easier to salvage as you arent quite so constrained about how you might repair the board or reattach the connector.
