I don't have anything to add to the good advice you've already
gotten on techniques for fixing the photos. But it may not be a
broken sensor. I once had a camera that mysteriously started
producing images like that, even in videos (except in my case
the color was green rather than magenta).

It turned out I had somehow gotten my Canon into a mode called
"Color Replace" (I probably hit the wrong button while exploring
menus). Once I realized what had happened, I turned off Color
Replace and the camera worked fine after that.
