This isn't meant to be a centerpiece of the home, but it would be
nice to make it presentable again.
What's the usual repair recommended for such a condition?
Replace the boards. And put them so if they cup they will cup with the
center up. Fasten in the center and keep painted/varnished.

Tools available: the usual drills and hand tools; table saw; router;
belt sander; palm sander; paint gun and compressor.
Suggestions welcome.
Well, you could ....
a) plane down the boards to make them flat on the surface
b) if thin/narrow enough, bend them down and fasten
c) if not thin enough, remove and rip one or more kerfs on underside, put
glue in kerfs, bend flat.
