This battery at that age is most probably really weak, the electrolyte is probably way down as well.
Put some distilled water in it if its low, fill it up to the bottom of the six fill holes. Check the cables for corrosion and check the grounds.
A weak battery will put out 12 volts or so as long as all cells are still working but the amperage can be low. Have the battery tested under load at a battery seller.
I would suggest that you get a new battery anyway.
These OEM batteries are low maintenance, not maintenance free as they do have the fill holes. After 50,000 miles and six plus years this battery has served you well, say 'goodbye and thanks' to it.
