It looks like the crystal was glued on. If you can get the remnants of the glue 'lined up', you might be okay.
I'd be interested to see if it'll generate any green light if you do that. Be careful with the 808nm IR though; thats going to be a LOT higher power than the 50mw that laser was originally rated at.
Do not look into it. Even a very dim dot of 808 may be 200mW. You can get IR blocking goggles for around $25, -- especially with IR, don't mess with that, since you don't even know if you're getting a specular reflection at the time, and there is no blink reflex.
