This morning, I woke up to my PC booting up to black screen and flickering underscore and turns out there was something wrong with my boot drive, so I booted up the Windows OS with a USB and it worked and I see this, my SSD still has the OS files inside but for some reason they aren’t getting detected and booting. So instead of formatting my SSD and doing a clean install, is there a way to save my Boot drive and save everything? Or is it not worth the trouble? (There isn’t anything that is valuable to me in my SSD, just wondering what I could do instead of redownloading everything)

saving your stuff by copy/paste will serve no purpose as the new drive will still not be bootable.
and using an image snapshot program, like Macrium, will also not be useful as whatever has happened to this drive will get replicated to the new one.
assuming the drive is still good, i would be starting from scratch - delete those first three partitions and let Windows create new ones as it deems fit.
if the drive has gone pear-shaped, doing the fresh install should highlight that.

You can try repairing the boot either by downloading Macrium on another pc, creating their boot media then using this on the problem pc & select fix boot problems or follow this tutorial: https://www.lifewire.com/fixboot-command-2625886
