If the clock had been fixed, it would greatly diminish the significance of the story, as though Marty and Doc's activities had no lasting effect.
Of course, a real community with such clock tower would naturally go to some trouble to fix it, probably even replacing the (presumably) melted mechanism. Otherwise such neglect would tend to attract vandalism and decrease morale generally.
(afterthought)
Furthermore, the civic minded lady in 1985 is soliciting support to fix the clock, but no one seemed interested—when she shakes her coin box, it sounds like only 50 cents is in there.
