My PS5 got fried during a lightning storm. Is there any way to fix it?

About a week ago, we were hit with a thunderstorm. I guess a strike hit a power line near us and overloaded our breaker which set the basement on fire. It was a small fire we were able to put out on our own, but various items got fried; my PS5 being one of them. We're covered by insurance so replacing it wouldn't be an issue, but I want to keep all my save data. I don't think I was subscribed to PS+ so it's not cloud saved. Is there a way to diagnose and fix the problem? If not that, then is there a way to get the data from my console before I sell it for parts or repair? I'd prefer the second outcome since I'd get a nice chunk of change and a new PS5 for basically free.

Thank you.

It can be repaired but you have to pay the price it probably very expensive as I don’t know about your country so hard to know how much but I think the whole main board has to be replace as major components inside is toast, and mostly the power supply section as well its been hit badly so basically you gonna change the whole lots so do you think is it worthy repairing it??? I think you can remove the hard drive and transfer/copy the contents of it to a working ps5
