The browning, from what I can tell, has a magazine disconnect, but that should not be affecting the function of the safety.
My other concern, even if you get it freed up, is why it was stuck in the first place. Even a dry, old gun, should still be able to move that safety, granted with a fair amount of pressure required.
You might have some internal damage/buildup or burrs in the trigger mechanism. A gunsmith shouldn't charge you much, maybe 50 bucks? to tear it down and clean it all up and check things, if it needed parts, it would obviously add cost. But the piece of mind would be worth it.
