That's a common problem with all kinds of "ancient" electronics: Dried out electrolytic capacitors, especially in the power supply. With a bad capacitor, instead of smooth direct current, the calculator will receive rectified alternating current that oscillates between 0 and 10V (or so) either 50 or 60 times per second depending on where you live.
The capacitors are fairly easy to replace provided you have a soldering iron.
