This camera appears to be some 40 years old now, so spares and service are unlikely to be obtainable. Why not replace it with a more up-to-date digital model ?

Id just open the back and pull it out like you would if it was empty. You will lose one or two prints, but the rest should be ok. Then you'll want to clean the little door that the print is supposed to come out. The Polaroid "goop" has probably seeped out into the hinges and it's just sticking. I remember using rubbing alcohol and a Q Tip.

The battery that operates the camera is in the film pack. If the film pack is outdated, the battery may be depleted.

AFAIK, the film comes ready packed inside the film cartridge, together with the electronics and processing chemicals. If there is no film cartridge, there is no film, so you are not taking photographs.

Is there possibly a crack in the body allowing light to affect the images ?

No. They are totally different and incompatible systems, sorry.

I THINK A PICTURE IS STUCK OR GLUE HAS IT STUCK OR BATTERY IS LOW OR DEAD, THUS NOT ADVANCING THE FILM.
