The shutter probably isn't working properly - it will be firing at the top speed all the time. All are symptoms of loss of power and it's usually the wire from the battery compartment to the PCB that gets corroded. Not a difficult fix for anyone who can use a soldering iron. Otherwise, you would be better finding another working one.

Sometimes if dirt accumulates around the threads of the battery cap, stops the circuit from working properly. Give the threads on both the cap and the bottom plate a good scrub.

You are lucky! Fixing the meter on these is complicated (the notorious "pad of death" deep inside the camera). Great lens and quite accurate and sensitive metering system when working correctly, but often in need a thorough de-hazing of the viewfinder and rangefinder. See yashica-guy.com for a ton of information.
