Welcome to Android Central! First, is it an S3, Note 3, or Galaxy Nexus S? (There's no Nexus 3).

Download Mode (which is used to download firmware to manually install) is usually accessed by powering the phone on with the Power, Home, and Volume Down buttons--I assume you didn't do that. I've seen other posts about Download Mode appearing on its own, which might be due to some hardware issue. Does it say Factory Mode at the top of the screen? Factory Mode might get triggered if there's a problem with the phone's memory. As long as the phone isn't actually connected to a computer and actively downloading a firmware file, it's ok to shut it off by pulling the battery for 10 seconds.

Not sure if the problem has anything to do with the low battery--try not to let batteries get that low on a regular basis, because it will decrease their overall lifespan. Plug the phone into a wall outlet and leave it there undisturbed for at least 4-6 hours before you try to power on again--preferably let it charge for at least 10-12 hours.
