The power source has failed the big way. Disconnect it from the mains immediately and hopefully all you will need to replace is the source. Otherwise a new pc is mandatory, everything in it was fried.
Hello,I need information on hard drive speed and
if you are replaceing a hard drive all you will need to do is make sure you match it up to IDE ATA133 or SATA type connections. otherwise the hard drive info should be printed on the top of the old drive.

First things first: "work" in giving this away has dodged the "responsible disposal" bullet. Drivers for this unit are probably limited to windows 98 or earlier, as the last Packard-Bell was produced in that era. Drivers for sound in particular were Packard-Bell only, and since they aren't around any more unless you can get your hands on the original installation CD you're out of luck to make the existing soundcard work. You do howrever have the option to install a newer soundcard, that should fix that issue. As for the shutting down, make sure the heatsink has good thermal contact with the processor as it sounds like the processor may be overheating. If there's a fan make sure it is running.
You've got a challenge if you want to see it all work, have fun.

Please look on the case of the PC, fron back & sides. There should be a model number. (There is no such number you posted, Packard Bell UTOW CO20).

Packard Bell iMedia S3720 startup problem
The battery charges the BIOS and is not utilized directly. Sometimes it takes a few days for it to take effect. Placing the battery may have stressed the Setup so my advise is to reset the BIOS. There may be a jumper over two out of three pins and reset takes as much as placing it over the other two for a couple of seconds. When this does not work then remove the battery and replace it after waiting but are you sure the battery is placed right, deep enough and not upside down? Some computers have two contacts that should be shorted out for a moment.
I am not sure what you mean by removed harddisk. It may not function without a suitable harddisk and one fit for the limitations of the BIOS version. When it is on PATA cables, then make sure the Master/Slave jumper is set and the cable its longer end is on the motherboard controller.
Beeps usually give an error code, where a long beep may indicate that a harddisk wasn't found. The very short and almost silent beep means the memory can be tested prior to boot. Perhaps the memory is unfit or displaced.
When any of this does not help you may need some-one on site to take a look at it. PSU's can be diagnosed with a tester plug and those don't have to cost much.
