Those are classic signs of power supply degeneration. A new power supply will PROBABLY clear them up.

I got one of the internal drives back by running BatChmod to unlock it and reset permissions. Then I cloned my backup onto to it. Running from it now.
Every drive that was connected and running when the whatever-it-was happened is messed up: locked, no access due to permissions error. I have decent backups, but this is going to take a long time.
I'm not sure how much I can trust the machine, even if I get all the drives working. It's been having start-up issues for 1-2 years. It was also locking up when trying to wake from sleep, which is why I've been shutting it down when I'm not using it.
