How can I reset a Wii that has no access to settings? - Paint brush near can on floor at home

I got a Wii from a church, it has no access to settings, online, or the eshop. Attempting to access any of these results in a "system files corrupted" error. I must clarify, I have absolutely no access to the system settings, I can only look at the storage.

Is there anything I can do?
