I’ve got a similar SLR Canon from about the same era, gathering dust. I don’t know where I would find a battery or film for it. Great in its time.

This one uses 2 of the little LR-44 batteries, they are all over the place. If you do a search on camera batteries most of the old ones are still available. Film is easy to find, they'll be making it for a long time yet.
I'm thinking of saving up a few bucks and getting a scanner, some of them will handle 35mm and slides. There are places that will develop your film and put it on discs and the price isn't bad if you don't get carried away.

I bought my Canon AE-1 in 1978 and have several lens’ for it. I have taken several thousand pics with it at various places around the world. I still occasionally use it. It is still a great camera.

Batteries are standardized. You can dust it off and get it working in a flash. No reason put off developing your skills again.
