I would go ahead and replace it. By the look of it, the thermostat is heat only and would only have two wires. A basic thermostat for heat only does not cost very much and are available at the home center. There is no need to turn the electric to the furnace off as thermostats are low voltage so there is no concern about getting shocked while replacing the thermostat.

It's an old Honeywell stat. They still make the same model, but you'll never get a replacement cover.
It's a 2 wire, heat only stat, so I would just get a new stat at a homecenter.
Either the same mercury type will work or get an electronic one with batteries.
