I knew I would get this comment at least once somewhere.
This one was in middling condition, and I own three others that have either been restored or are in their original working condition. I care a lot about (and collect) Polaroid instant cameras; this was a singular sacrifice.
I guess here is part of the grand reveal. Congrats on getting it done and documenting the project so beautifully.
The way you can head off those who want to point out the obvious - 'but it doesn't print' - is to mention what you have said here. It provides context. It is okay if you collect the things and re-use one that was originally a parts donor for others and is a bare shell.
What would also be interesting would be if you could record people's reactions to it. Years ago the Polaroid camera was all about sharing, it was fun passing the just made snaps around the table.
Nowadays everyone has a screen so how do you do the instant share?
One thing you could do is have the freshly made snap upload itself to a URL. Whilst it is doing so there could be a QR code gradually reveal itself so people can then 'share' the picture the modern way, to see it on their own phones. A simple web page could do some CSS colour effects and have the classic frame with someone needing to 'waft' their phone around for the picture to reveal.
You could convince under fives that 'this was how it worked' way back in the 1970's. The grandparents would go along with that.
In this way the camera itself need not show the pictures, it could be a 'paperless polaroid' so the sharing thing works . It could break up the dynamic of selfies and 'me with my mates' Instagram photography and bring some fun back, passing around the camera rather than people doing their own thing with their hand-rectangles.
Since you have got so far documenting the project some QR code enabled viewing thing where the URL + timecode makes up the picture could be really good. Plus if you have save and regular share buttons going on.
NFC would be interesting too although a lot of the metal backed phones don't do NFC.
Meh, don't worry about it. It's a mass produced consumer device, not a previously undiscovered dead sea scroll or something. You've done an amazing job of updating it while maintaining functionality and aesthetics. I think this project is very tastefully and sympathetically done. I really enjoyed the write-up too.

Are you looking at all for software dev interns this summer? I have a strong interest in design but no professional experience or education with it--I'm pursuing my BS in computer science right now.

At Planetary, we have designed and developed just about everything there is to design and develop — games for a Super Bowl campaign, internal apps for startups, point-of-sale applications for large national brands and dozens of issues for a number of periodicals. In doing so, we've learned the particularities of each different medium, but more importantly, we've gained a sublime handle on how to partner with our clients and become an integral, valuable part of their design and development process.
Whether for small brands, large brands, medium brands, brands without a brand, all the work we've done in the past few years has been intent on providing a talented team, clear communication, plain expectations and flawless execution. That's what you can expect from Planetary. Strong design and quality development with an unrivaled attention to detail.

It's a fair point. The signal/noise ratio for advertised freelance work is much lower than that for advertised traditional positions.
I think that's mostly down to mismatch: fewer employers advertising for remote positions and more people looking for easy money that can be taken advantage of.
