One is a bad drive that goes click alot now

As long as the data is readable that's no problem. But you should back it up soon, if the drive had windows on it then do WIN + R and type in %appdata%/Bitcoin/. Now you want to back up the folder "wallets" (zip it up and put it on a USB or sth).

bad phone with a battery now shaped like a golf ball almost. (...) very old version of imtoken and the OS was android 4 I think which apparently helps.

Sounds doable. Never heard of the wallet software but as long as the password isn't stored as AES Hash (which I'd think is highly unlikely on an OS from 2011) but rather SHA or MD5 we should be able to recover it. Phone will likely run without battery too, but I'd back up all data ASAP.
