BASIC is unplugged.  At the * prompt, type:

*INSERT 12
*CONFIGURE LANGUAGE 12 (might be *CONFIGURE LANG 12)

then press ctrl-break.

this will get you BASIC back, but other ROMS are also unplugged:  you
will need to *INSERT 15, 14, 13 and 9.

Your battery is probably on the way out: type *TIME or PRINT TIME$ and
see if that is correct.  If not, replace the battery.
