Phone turning off and unable to turn back on

My phone right now is a very old Samsung Fit I bought in 2012. Now, I know it is obsolete and trashy, but it's the only one I have, and I can't afford a new one right now (my country is doomed + mass unemployment (me included)+ inflation + etc). I had a Xperia E1 before, but I ended up breaking it. I know this Samsung Fit doesn't deserve attention at all in this forum, but here's the issues I'm having for those who could show me some light anyways:

Sometimes my phone turns off by itself, I rarely see it happen, I just notice it when I'll use it and I find the screen off. I try to power it back on, but it won't turn on unless I take out the battery and put it back on, then it turns on normally, but I know that it'll turn back off again later. For example, today I woke up 3 hours late because my phone turned off by itself in the middle of the night. It doesn't have any apps besides stopwatch and Whatsapp, since it doesn't have support for any new apps today (Android 2.2.1). It also doesn't have many files, I put most things in the SD card, like music, images, etc.

I'll eventually have switch to a newer phone, maybe in a few months, but does anyone have experienced this issue before? Did you managed to fix it?

First, your Samsung Fit belongs in here with all the other Android devices of all ages. :)

A failing battery, perhaps, or a poor battery contact, or a faulty Power switch?
