Battery or hard drive? Which do I swap first?
I am thinking of doing two separate swaps - replacing the battery first and fixing issues with the time via terminal (so my new hard drive will be recognized). Then go back and swap the hard drive. Does this sound like a good idea?

Hello Jean,
Yes that sounds like a good idea! Hard drive replacements were so easy back then. I got an M1 MacBook Pro and I tried upgrading the storage but I failed. The battery may be aging so that would also be a good idea. Here is a tip: Get an SSD which is much faster and will improve performance of your computer.
Happy Fixing

I would rather keep the original battery, especially if it holds a good charge. A lot of the clone packs fail sooner then the original Apple batteries.

True Nick maybe it could be an old battery

One from ifixit would not fail.

@tacofixes The one in my 2012 13" is on limited time at this point, but I'd rather hold onto it until I can find an actual Apple battery.
I don't trust most 3rd party batteries at this point. There's more that have quality issues then ones that are similar in quality and performance.
