You should hit it with POR15 it will stop/slow the corrosion from spreading and either leave it black or pain over the POR15

POR is overkill for the cost. Any rust paint should do

Por is never overkill when it comes to rust.
You can.snag a small can for like 30 bucks

And that shelf is worth maybe 3 bucks

It's not their shelf so it's worth their security deposit

Not grind off the rust and sand a little first?

Should mention we're in a small 1 bed flat on a budget, so power tools (aside from hand drill) are a bit unfeasible. One day I'll have the shed with all the big boys but that day is not today unfortunately

Think at least some sandpaper can help you clear the worst of the debris - it will look nicer in the end

Get a wire brush head for your drill and use that to knock a lot of the rust off.
