At 5 volts I doubt the battery is going to take a charge, but yes you can use a regular battery charger only I would use a high amp charge to attempt to break down the sulfation that has occurred inside the battery plates.
I would replace the whole assembly, probably the reason the cable is missing is that the pin is rusted in the socket and the cable broke while trying to remove the pin. If you can get the pic broke loose and pulled out put a light film of lubrication on it and put it back in and get a new cable. If you go with a new assembly, pull out the pin and put on a light film of lubrication so keep it from seizing up again.
