Old Black Macbook Grey Screen Troubleshooting

Okay so, I have one of those archaic black macbooks from around 2007. One day awhile back, it wouldn't boot up, simply giving me a grey screen and loading icon. Since then, I've gotten an HP laptop, but would like to see if I can get this back working again. I've tried multiple start up commands and ran it in verbose and single user mode but couldn't make sense of the text or single out error messages nor give it commands.  I'm not ready to scrap it just yet, if it's a software issue. Any and all help or article references would be great!

Sounds like you're talking about the MacBook "Core 2 Duo" (https://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.2-black -13-late-2007-santa-rosa-specs.html) but let me know if I'm wrong.

Here is a link to one suggestion (not sure if this is for the same model): Old Black Macbook Grey Screen Troubleshooting

Other sources suggest resetting PRAM by holding down Option+P+R as your computer boots or suggest your hard drive may be shot. Is there any information of value you can share from running in verbose mode? Obviously don't post everything, but is there anything that looks relevant that might pertain to the issue?

Yes! that's the same model! Okay so upon booting verbose mode, it does it's thing and at the very end gives me a CODE SIGNING: cs_invalid_page with some more text in front of it, and that's the only thing that looks out of the ordinary. I tried to reset the PRAM with that input, but it didn't give me any different response. If my hard drive is shot, is it something worth fixing?
