No bootable device means that there is no usable hard drive. In all likelihood, the hard drive has gone bad in the laptop. The other option is that it disconnected, and if you are feeling ambitious, you can take the laptop apart, find the hard drive, and ensure the connections to it are tight.

A laptop of this vintage will not pay to put serious money into it.

My laptop is saying the same thing, apart from it says 'Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key' could this also suggest my hard drive could be broken?

The hard drive is either broken, or disconnected. It did happen to me once that I got this message, I removed the HDD, tested it, and reinstalled it. The laptop still works years later.

Is your HDD making any sounds?
