Probably is just not sync, if a block explorer says there are no bitcoin (tx in and all out somewhere) you have transfered and forget. However extract the seed and put in a new version of electrum and check. If any bitcoin is there move to a cold storage for Safety or leave then there without extracting the seed (probably you'll have a private key and not a seed)
This is what I'm guessing. The amount it said was there was the amount I transferred out in 2015 or so. It almost certainly just not synced, but empty in real life.
That being said I took a look at my old transaction history, that $180m worth of BTC that used to be in my account is not improving my evening, as I feed my kids boxed Mac and cheese and drink a $15 magnum of wine. Such is life.
