Random MacBook Pro shut down issue

Text:

I have a 1st Gen MacBook Pro with a battery that is nearing the end of its lifespan.  The computer has begun to randomly shut down on its own.  The power cord is plugged in.  I need to determine whether this is a function of the old battery or whether it indicates other, more serious issues.  Any thoughts?
