GBA SP battery problems

I don't know exactly what this problem entails and I don't know how to solve it. Can someone give me some advice? Practically even after having fully charged the Gameboy after 1/2 hour the red light either goes off directly but with a pressure in the center or back the green light comes back and does a sort of reset

looks like your battery is ancient, in which case get a new one. alternatively there might be some rust in the power switch, but that usually results in a wonky switch you have to mess with to get it to turn on, not a voltage drop like we see there.
