It doesn't seem like a huge big deal, but any advice
anyone has would be gratefully accepted.

Check out http://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/ele?query=ipod%20broken for an
identical model with broken display. Or post your own ad for such. Buy for
parts and exchange the entire PCB that has the connector.

If I were you, I wouldn't want to un/solder that connector on the PCB...

Good luck,
