Rip out, level the slab and install a new one. There is no cheap/fast/easy fix that I am aware of.

The bottom of the shower base support has failed or when the base was installed the support material was not installed with it.

^^^^^^^ This if it has'nt done it before,I have seen some with all sorts of packing under them even old hardboard which just decomposes over time especially in a wet area.Rip it out & if you need to level it use cement board or plastic builders packers & an adhesive to secure to the floor.

Many years ago we built a house and my husband had the bright ? idea to put pink batts under the shower tray they compacked and made ir appear the house was tipping.

they come with a polystyrene slab, guess people thought it was packing instead of packing.
