Canon AE-1 Shutter not firing.

My camera was unused for sometime now, I changed the batteries and the shutter wasn't firing. I removed the base plate and the shutter fired when I nudged the spring a bit.

Pressing half shutter button oscillates the meter needle rapidly. I don't know if the batteries are weak or there's some issue with the camera.
