[Android Phone] My girlfriend's Galaxy Note 5 was submerged in water for 2-3 seconds

Hello, forgive me if this isn't the right subreddit to request help on this subject.

My girlfriend dropped her phone in water and it was submerged for about 2-3 seconds.

Her screen is blank and she cannot power on the phone. There is no charge indicator when she tried to charge it.

I have two questions/concerns:

1) If this is a battery issue, can a repair shop open the phone and replace the battery to fix the phone

2) If replacing the battery fixes the phone, will the files stored on the phone be affected?

As an aside, if the phone is completely ruined, is there a program online that anyone trusts will work to pull the pictures and videos stored on the phone?

Thank you!
