Since this is an older machine I'm sure that it doesn't have a USB bus, the
only other alternative (I know of) for a keyboard.  I have had problems
with some motherboards where the keyboard connector has parted from the
motherboard. It sticks out from the MB and with the tugging and pulls, it
is very vulnerable for this type damage. A solder job _may_ be able to fix
the keyboard connector back to the motherboard and fix the problem. I have
had mixed success in doing these repairs.
