It's just a solid pin and has probably just slipped out. You can remove the
rewind knob by holding the shaft and turning the handle counter clockwise.
An old film spool can be used as a tool to hold the shaft. Do not use a
screwdriver (or any other tool) in the shaft's prongs, you will damage them.
Once the rewind knob is off, it'll be obvious how things fit together.
