Check the fluid in the battery if its low top it up with water this will keep it going for a little bit longer but the damage is already done.
If the levels are ok and you know someone with a variable charger then put it on the charger and crank it right up till you get bubbles leave it like this for about 1-2 minutes and then charge it like normal. With old battery's they get sulfur build up on the lead plates through electrolysis when you boil them like this it shifts it all and it falls to the bottom of the battery exposing the lead on the plates. Again this is only a temporary fix and the only guaranteed way out of this for you is a new battery if it is stuffed.
The other thing you can do is take it to a battery place and get it load tested.
