Your wallet seems to be fine if you can access your TX history. Your problem is the unconfirmed transaction?
Several blockchain explorer as well as my node don't find your transaction.  It does not exist on the bitcoin network.
This transaction never got confirmed back in 2014 and therefore it has been dropped from the nodes' mempool (probably also 2014).
Your address (the output of the TX) never recieved these coins.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... but you do not have 500 BTC and you never did. The transaction that sent that 500 BTC was never confirmed, it doesn't exist in the blockchain and doesn't exist in the mempool pool. It's like the transaction never existed... and even if you have the transaction data in your local mempool and could try rebroadcasting it, I would guess that the inputs are long gone given that it has been over 3 years since that transaction was originally sent.

Thank you!
You are smiling?? This is one the badest news I have heard about in this week.
I really hope that you will be able to access your lost coins.

It might be an altcoin wallet.
I didn't find that TXID on any of the common altcoin chains, though.
