happened to me once with my tour. Jump it and drive around for a while.
Is my car for sale? PM me if you're in South FL.

Yes, recharge it. But note that batteries that have been completely discharged don't tend to last as long. Yes, experience is a cruel teacher...

Only do this if you want to increase the odds of buying a new alternator. This places a great deal of load on the alternator and can lead to premature failure
Use an external charger and fully charge it, if at all possible.

Top up water level if needed. A couple drops of Electrolite works well in each cell.
