Unless the engine has been modified with pistons and had the head shaved it's a Non Interference engine. Meaning that if the timing belt breaks the engine will just die.

No parts will bang into each other, the pistons will not hit the valves (like in many Honda engines).

Install a new belt and you are on the road again. Toyota recommends replacement at 60k, I went twice that long on my original and it still looked good. Replace yours if it would make you feel better but it's probably not something to worry about.
