You probably need a new battery. Unless of course you just haven't given the current battery a chance to charge.

Although based on how old that machine must be, it's probably the battery unless there is another hardware issue lurking.
 
about 6 years.this promblem happened after replaced a harddisk (i do it by myself). i replaced a harddisk about week ago.
 
my coconut battery 2.6.6 says
Charger connected : Yes
Battery is Charging : No
 
Looking at iFixit's HDD replacement guide, I can't see where you would be dealing with the battery connecter. Regardless, that does sound like the source of the problem :(
