It is past the normal age of useful life of batteries. Most batteries go sometime between 2 and 5 years.


You can try to reset the SMC

If you have a power cord, be sure it is the right one for your model:

If your MagSafe cable or power adapter isn't working - Apple Support

Identify your Mac power adapter - Apple Support


If that does not work, then look into options to have your battery replaced by an authorized service technician.
