Is it possible that the motherboard is the problem? Could it have been damaged from high heat?

Yes, both of those are possible.

I'd make sure you're on the latest motherboard BIOS.

If the motherboard is damaged, there's no real harm in running it as is for now, right? 70-75C on one core isn't great, but the end result is the CPU or mobo dies and I replace them both, which is realistically what I'm facing anyways, as it's not like I can get a replacement mobo for such an old CPU now anyways?

Yeah, the CPU/motherboard running hotter will shorten the lifespan of the hardware but that temperature isn't going to kill it immediately or anything like that.

You can get another comparable motherboard if you really want to. You might have to pay a premium however.
