If the valve (as opposed to flap) is gone that far, then a good modern water savings toilet isn’t that expensive and will probably flush better than the old one (good is key - there are many cheap toilets that don’t flush well!). Consider replacing the whole toilet instead. You can also get a toilet style you like (I personally hate high toilets, but some prefer them). I strongly recommend a bidet while you are doing this as well.
I won’t say you should always replace the toilet vs just the valve, but it is something to consider - the effort is similar and the cost isn’t that much more. So if there is any reason to replace the toilet do it.
Wow, I’d expect it to last longer than that, even a cheap one. You might want some weter treatment, get the water tested to see if it is destroying parts.

This toilet is only two years old.
