Remove the battery and dispose of it safely. When batteries are at the end of life they can swell, overheat and even catch fire. Use the adapter alone which will make the laptop a desktop replacement. Replace the computer when you can or when you need the mobility of a laptop. Dell Batteries for models like yours are out of stock permanently but it is not worth replacing it anyway even if you could.
