It must have had film in it. The battery is built into the film. I would try the old film holder that work.(after your done with this film). You might have a bad battery on the film case you're using . If it doesn't work replace the camera,as it will be cheaper than wasting film.
You can buy a Polaroid 600 for 10 bucks on ebay really not a big deal no matter what happens.
