The cooler on my mother's house in AZ had the same problem. I advised
her to have her handyman dry it, wire brush/scotchbright it to remove
loose rust and paint, spray it with rust converter to inhibit further
rusting, and then line the entire inside of the pan with fiberglass
mat soaked in resin. There were some smaller rust spots on one of the
panels, and he used the same approach but with spot putty. After he
did all that he repainted it.

I have an 8,500 CFM side draft swamp cooler that is rusting out. The bottom
pan has a few rust holes through the sides under the pad frames. I'm going
to try to get a few more years out of it. Any suggestions on what to do with
the pan?
