The spare tire is underneath the vehicle in the rear. There is a large bolt right inside where the rear door latches that you will need a tool to get off. The tool is under the carpet all the way in the trunk space almost to the back of the rear seats in a compartment. It will take a while to unscrew the bolt all the way and watch your toes because the spare and the mounting equipment will just fall if you're not holding it up when the bolt is finally loose.
These cars were sold with a mini spare tire which was 3/4 the size of your full size spare that you have. Any Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer pasts department can sell you the correct parts needed to bolt down your full size spare tire

If there is rust there is going to be damage anyway but there is no telling how much till you take the tire out. Better now then let it rust away where you cant see it and possible cause more problems
In the trunk right side you will need to take the right inside pannel off with a flat head you should find a donut size tire and a jack and a lug tool boltted to the right side frame
I had the same problem tryed to put a full size tire back there and it wont fit.
Under the front of the part of the seat (where your **** goes) remove the bolts that hold it there. You will then find bolts that hold the backrest in place. push backrest up and back to get it off.
if you look when you open the trunk right in the middle of the trunk there is a hole which your crank goes in to release the tire that is mounted under it, turn it either left or right to loosen
