I would use DiskWarrior as a fall back. Get a new hard disk, install a system on it then see if you can access the old drive. If you can then copy as much as you can off it to the new drive. You may be able to reformat the old drive and use it but I wouldn’t trust it.
It may be that some part of the boot data got corrupted… or it may be that it’s fubared.
