TI used silver plating in select IC's back then. This is what was jump starting the oxidation so badly. Unfortunately, with RoHS - a lot of components have again going back to silver plating.
Best way to fix this without risking damaging IC legs - use Tarnex. Dip in Tarnex and then rinse with water. If there are any stubborn spots - rub Tarnex into legs very lightly with finger tips and rinse.

Quoted from barakandl:

Some times they corrode so much they legs just fall off. I have had some where you try and pull the IC out of the socket and nearly all the legs just crumble. Sad face.

Yeah, if they get to that point, there is nothing that is going to be 'gentle' on these ones. Just hold your breath and hope for the best.
