Lead does corrode but it certainly does not corrode as easily as iron or steel. For example in electrolysis when you put metal in the water the bubbles start to form hydrogen and oxygen, this corrodes the metal. But lead will not corrode that easily in this process.

Lead may corroded by sulfuric acid; but generally lead is very resistant to corrosion.

Depends on the material that is corroding.

Also, the steel bolts on these connectors tend not to corrode too much because of the reactivity of the other metals in the terminal. Being of a higher reactivity they corrode more than the steel rusts.
