A shorted pack would be good (THAT at least would protect the calculator electronics). But typically, old battery packs act essentially like an open circuit, which equates to operation on the charger without a pack installed.
HP, mythical champion of "quality" design, surely did have many examples of poor design in its calculator products history.
