Sparking inside the cavity usually means the waveguide cover has been damaged or food residue is arcing. Stop using the microwave when that happens rather than finishing the cycle, because continued arcing damages the magnetron.
Cleaning the cavity is owner work. A damaged waveguide cover needs replacing by a technician, and on a countertop unit of this age the sensible question is whether the part cost justifies keeping it.
