Several cells (maybe three out of six) have obviously failed. It is hard
to say what the failure mechanism might be.
It appears from its condition that the battery has not been used recently.
If it was working well when it was last used, it may just need some
attention. So before you write it off, you could check the level and
specific gravity of the electrolyte in each cell.
