Try internet recovery again but connect your Mac to your router using a cable instead of WiFi.
The alternative would be to download it to another Mac if you can, it needs to be a Mac that can
run El Capitan. How to upgrade to OS X El Capitan – Apple Support
Follow the instructions in Section 4 to 7 carefully.
And once you have downloaded Install MacOSX.dmg and opened it to Install MacOSX.pkg
and then converted that to the Install OS X El Capitan app you can then make a bootable
USB installer using these instructions, How to create a bootable installer for macOS – Apple Support.
Then use the bootable USB installer to install El Capitan on your Mac.

the MBP 2009 does not support recovery boot. you will need a bootable instance of the OS on the recovery disks that shipped with your Mac. If that is not possible you may need to find an installer for 10.6 and its starts getting a bit more specific.
Restore to El Capitan
