Yeah the bulb is probably worn out. That model is pretty old so I'm guessing that the bulb hasn't been replaced since it was first purchased. If the TV was given to you, do you know if it was working properly beforehand? Often times something can go loose when you move the TV from one place to another. I'd get it checked out but given its age and current state, I don't know whether it would be worth it or not. Up to you though. :)
