This does sound like a serious problem, like an amplifier working as an intergator instead of amplifier. This could happen when a feedback resistor is lost / disconnected.
Another problem could be a similar failure in the ADC.
The problem is that chances are that all this is internal to the central chip. So chances are high this meter is beyound repair.
Are at least the current ranges and maybe AC working OK ?
A first usual check are the batteries - best case just the low bat check failed, though it is unlikely a low bat would cause such symptoms.
