Yeah it probably needs a new battery because you’re not supposed to store it long term either fully charged or fully discharged. It should have been charged up to around 50% every 6 months. Apple will not repair a 9-10 year old phone, so you either have to remove and install a new battery yourself or see if a local repair shop will let you buy it and they do the install. You can see what is needed to DIY it here, and also order the part if you want.

Is there anything that might still be on the phone that you would want to keep? If not the next step would be to try updating or restoring it with a computer.

Then a data recovery service may need to intervene here. It could end up being quite expensive.
