This is a lot more than surface rust.
I recorded this electrical panel during an inspection. The bottom of the enclosure was badly corroded, with flaking material and metal missing. The short video shows the wider panel and then moves in on the deterioration.
What I’d want checked next
A licensed electrician should promptly evaluate the extent of the damage, the correction needed and the source of moisture. The video doesn’t establish the exact moisture source, whether every component is affected or what the repair will cost.
Please don’t remove your own panel cover, touch the wiring or try to clean corrosion away. Leave that evaluation and correction to the electrician. Whether the lights turn on isn’t enough to judge the enclosure’s condition.
