I wonder how ancient of a kernel it has and how many wonderful exploits can be run against it

A watchdog crashed? Aren't they supposed to prevent stuff like this?

The disk is likely dead... The kernel is stuck doing I/O with a spinlock held. The NMI watchdog fired/timeouted because of this. The watchdog is supposed to cause a reboot, but if the HW is dead, the system will boot loop.
