A panel that size doesn't necessarily *NEED* a regulator (though it's not a bad idea), but 2.5 volts is not a charge. Check it again when the sun is out, but if it's got "weird discoloration" and has moisture inside, it's likely shot.

There should be a tag/stamp on the panel telling you it's output.

Any pics?
