As mentioned, the pully is replaceable with a special tool. If there are no further signs of corrosion or otherwise, it should be fine. (though thstone's advice is spot on)
Sorry, but we see about 20 or so that look like this every week and they are both serviceable and completely normal (OP's original photo):



They all throw some red dust, which is probably why Porsche put the plastic cover on them in the first place.......
