This is can be due to sensor damage or memory card damage.
This is common with Flash memory that has been used extensively for a long time and this problem is likely not caused by any fault in the camera.
To check whether the damage is on the card or on the camera, copy a good picture from your computer and check it a few days later with a COMPUTER. If the lines appear on them too, you can say that the card is damaged.
If you want to try to use the card again, You can try formatting it (method differs from cam to cam, check instructions manual for specific instructions)
If this doesn't work, You will have to buy a new card. Make sure you buy a good brand like Lexar or SanDisk.
If you pointed the cam directly at something very bright like the sun (for taking pictures of an eclipse for instance), some parts of the sensor will get burnt. In this case you will get oddly colored dots all over the pics in the same places.
Parallel lines are consistent with other kinds of sensor damage like because of water.
I'm afraid that you might not be able to find someone to repair this cam; it's not a professional DSLR camera. which means repairs to it can cost more than buying a new camera will!
