the typical "signals" for an empty internal battery are something like the system "forgets" settings. for example it switches to appletalk instead of ethernet; shows wrong date and time; and so on. your problem looks like your computer does not find the systemfolder. from here its quite hard to tell. try to boot with your original macOS system cd and check if some preferences (like date and time or networking - as mentioned above - have changed.) or clean up your hard-drive - reset your desktopfolder - zap your pram - stuff like that...
