Neither of those things happened, so well done!
If you have some 'proper' PCB cleaner or something which will do (suggestions anyone?) you mind find those burnt looking bits are just left over burnt flux and will clean off.
I would say you have done by far the hardest bit. Do you have a socket you can fit in the holes where the IC was removed from?

Yes I have a socket which I can use and I ought to have a go really!
