Hi :)
I just dropped my MacBook Pro from a drop that was about a foot high. Cracked the Apple lid logo internally and the mouse makes a high pitched crack every time I apply force. If I apply more force, the button clicks.
Is this a good question?

Ouch! Sounds like you have a few issues here. If we just focus on the trackpad I would replace it, sadly it’s part of the uppercase assembly MacBook Core 2 Duo Keyboards. You might find a junker which you can salvage the Trackpad. But from your description I fear you have a bit more broken here.
The case plastic becomes brittle with age. I often find visible cracks in the case and the stand-offs are often sheared off from the impact.
It maybe better to look at finding a newer used system before going deep in the expenditure this system will likely need.
I faced a similar issue a few years ago, I had two 17” MacBook Pro’s. I cried when my last one died! It was so useful when I was on a shoot with its massive display. Sadly the GPUs just didn’t hold up due to poor design and manufacturing and Apple dropped the larger sized system. The 16” is their try to get us back, too little and too late😟

Does this one look OK? https://www.ebay.com/itm/195803047445?ha...
@wmf10 - That’s a MacBook Pro, not a MacBook! Note the color is Silver not White. It won’t fit.
Oh, I must've selected the wrong computer then. The one I have is a 2007 MacBook Pro and is silver. Anyways, I don't think I will buy that one, because I recently saw a whole identical computer for about the same price.
@wmf10 - I’ve corrected your system double check as there is a 17” version too!
