I would replace it, if you want to try and fix give it a shot. But when you are out and about and it leaks again you will know why.

You could try to solder it but it may be a job for the pros. My old radiator had a stress crack in the top tank which I repaired years ago by soldering a small patch over the crack. It held up over ten years until I replaced the radiator with an aluminum unit.

Personally I would replace the radiator like Flip suggests. I wouldn't run the risk of overheating the motor due to coolant loss. Others here on this site have had good success with the replacement radiators from Radiator Express.
