As far as I know the 200Gb 7200rpm hard drive it came with is still okay (though I also recently bought a 256Gb Crucial M4 SSD I was about to replace it with, until this little "accident".).
I've had a quick look on eBay and £500 is about what a used early-2008 Macbook pro would cost, although mine is the slightly better (and rarer) 2.53Ghz model with 512Mb graphics RAM (instead of the 2.4 Ghz / 256Mb graphics RAM model). This is actually quite reasonable compared to some other quotes I've seen. I've been quoted just under £500 (about $790) to repair this - would include a new or Apple-refurbished logic board and labour charges for fitting (and VAT i.e. Hi - I've managed to fry my early-2008 15" 2.53Ghz Macbook Pro (see here, this led to this - don't try this at home kids!) and the logic board needs replacing (according to a certified Apple Engineer who I know and trust).
