I would remove that box, a hacksaw blade between the box and wood, and cut the nails.

Then strip the wire, use an 'old work box' and push-in connectors to add new tails.

Easy-peasy, 30 minute (1 beer) job, less than $10.

With the box out, I also suspect a 'gentle yet persuasive' pull on the wire will find another inch or so.
