Buy a replacement hard drive of the same size (to make partitioning easier), a $13 hard drive enclosure ( http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX25441), then use the software to clone the old drive to the new one. Then usually it's a matter of removing one or two screws to pull out the old drive and slide the new one in.
It boils to plugging two things in, a few mouse clicks, and using a screwdriver.
For the battery, you'll have to order one online and it just swaps straight out with the old one.

I replaced my own hard drive when I got the same warning as the OP. I'd never done it before but it was very easy. There's likely step by step instructional videos on youtube with your exact computer
