time to replace battery?

1998 Honda VT750

Sometimes when I turn the key and push the starter switch, it buzzes and the lights shut off. Turn the key off and on, and the lights don't turn on.

I'd loosen the screws on the battery and tighten them up again, and then the lights come on and can start the engine.

While driving, especially when just starting to run, rev suddenly goes down even though I'm giving throttle.

The headlight and neutral indicator dim when I give throttle.

Is it time to replace the battery? It's about three years old, and I don't have a voltmeter.
