It all depends on what standard you're working to and why. If it's a bike with a loose ball BB like that it's probably a bit of a shitter and you're trying to make an affordable bike for someone that is safe and ridable, in which case whack some new bearings in it, adjust it as best you can and it'll probably feel a bit rough but work. If you're repairing someone's bike to a high standard then new BB erry day, except days like most when they're out of stock.
