As described, your long-obsolete first generation iPad likely has a terminal battery failure - which would not be surprising given that it is over ten years old. Other than an unauthorised repair, the cost of which will far outweigh it value, there’s little that you can do.


If you do ever manage to resolve the failed battery, you’re not going to find any compatible/downloadable Apps within the App Store.


The best (and realistically sensible) advice is to “say goodbye” to an old friend - and permanently retire the iPad. Replacement iPad, even the most basic, will be a rocket-ship by comparison - and will benefit from iPadOS 13 and a wide range of compatible Apps.
