The hard drive has failed.


An Apple Store will no longer work on that old of an iMac. If you want to have it checked out, you will need to contact your local Apple Authorized Service Provider. https://getsupport.apple.com


In addition, I hope that you were diligent and have a good backup. Because your going to need it to restore your data back to either your repaired iMac or to new Mac.
