That's an obsolete server. You might be facing a main board failure, will need to troubleshoot some steps before we can conclude it.
Try removing all of the components except the below. Turn on the server, and check if you're able to access BIOS.
•System board •Processor (with heatsink) in socket 1 •Two sticks of memory in memory slots 1 and 2 •1 power supply •Control panel (to turn on system) •Sideplane •Both PCI risers; PCI-e in center slot, (PCI-e or PCI-X) in left slot
If you're able to source for a coin cell battery, CR 2032 3V, replace the main board's battery, leave the server plugged to the wall socket, and switch is turned on. Let it sit for 1 day. Try to turn it on, again, check if you're able to access BIOS. Change the time and date to current.

Yes, though the fans will run at full speed while you do.
