Sorry but I disagree with the "slab jacking" method. That concrete looks like over 50 yrs old and needs to be replaced, there is no way to get this staircase back to the original shape. It also looks like the stairs are not uniform in height, creating a safety issue. Most likely issue is the uncompacted soil beneath the staircase (or possibly swelling soils - lots of silt). Concrete slab leveling/jacking is more effective when you have the whole structure underneath the issue - the property slab. For sidewalks or staircase of this type, better off by demoing it, remove unstable soils, replace with good aggregate base course, then form, place rebar, and place concrete.
