Ramp Worker reported broken cable in flap track fairing. Maintenance repaired prior to departure.

Narrative

I had just come off lunch and came out to the aircraft to work the departure. The lead had sent me to pick up the bags. Upon returning; we started uploading the bags. Around half-way through the first cart of bags; I had noticed under the #2 wing; there was a broken safety cable in one of the flap-track fairings. I had noticed this because the flaps and slats were still deployed from the landing in ZZZ. I had reported it to my lead and continued loading the bags. After we had finished loading all the bags; I had double-checked with the lead whether she had reported the damage or not. She responded that she had but then had asked me to show the picture I took to the Captain. I ran up to the flight deck to show the Captain and he told me to tell maintenance. Luckily; there was a mechanic right behind me in the cabin and I had showed him my picture. Immediately after showing him; the Captain told me to show him physically what I found. He then reported it himself to maintenance. There had been an unrelated hydraulic issue so a bunch of mechanics were already at the aircraft so he snagged them and showed them the broken safety cable. I was listening into their conversation and overheard the mechanic explaining that the hydraulic issue by itself would take 45-60 minutes to fix; while the cable might take much longer. He mentioned that they were going to see if they could configuration deviation list the issue. If they could not; the aircraft could not be flown until the glue finished curing. At that point; I heard the mechanic suggest that it might be a good idea to stop looking at the issue because of that. The Captain said they have to fix it because they are already being seen pointing at the damage. I had reported what I heard to Supervisor Person 1. In the end; the cable was fixed; the aircraft reboarded; and dispatched without further issue.
