My iPod works properly only if connected to the USB port on my PC, unplugged it goes blank and stops working. Is this an old battery issue?

Yes. It sounds like the iPod's battery is on its last leg. If you want to keep using your iPod you'll want to have the battery replaced either by Apple, a third party company, or you can even buy the replacement part and swap it out yourself.
