You may not need new bolts, you may just need to get the bolts back in
the holes they are meant to be in. Either way, it'll mean pulling the
seat apart. To do this, use a wide flat blade screwdriver to carefully
prize off the staples around the edge. If you are careful you may be
able to get away with just undoing 3/4 of them. The top of the bolts
*should* be held in place with some tape, however this may have dried
out and become loose, in which case re-seat the bolt heads and use duct
tape to secure them. Then reattach the seat cover and staple back in to
position.

Jump on it, or use a hammer or something. Use your imagination, how
hard can it be!

It's not always the best idea to buy an new one if you can fix it


Use a vice, hammer and a large flat surface, that should be all you
need to bend it back into shape.

+1
I love fixing stuff and taking things apart, it always gets me excited
to take things apart and see what makes them tick. Sometimes I take
apart perfectly functional things just to see how they work. Anyone else
like this? Sorry for the thread-jack, just throwing that out there...

Anyway, I'd recommend using a vice if you have one, or a pair o pliers
and a hammer, or maybe just bite it furiously until it bends back.

Whichever you decide on, good luck with it
