Slow disk? Probably. I wouldn't put another spinning drive in it though.
Will it take a SATA SSD? You can buy 128GB to 256GB ones for under $40
new. Less on sale. Does the notebook even have SATA?

Maybe, it's time to consider getting a newer, but not necessarily new
machine. You can only do so much to improve performance of an old
machine. Even less for a notebook. And at some point, it's just
no longer cost effective to do so.
