The flag or the other icon, is an indication of the settings chosen in the Keyboard Prefs, at lease in older OS.

Dan, Jim S posted an image of the US flag and he is on 10.15.1. I am running 10.7.5, currently as stated, and can change between the two icons, by making a change in Sys Prefs/ Keyboard/ Keyboard (tab).

Brent, I did attach the Input menu icon from Catalina. It didn't make

In your smaller screen capture, the US flag is the Input menu from an
older OS X. The flag is for the selected or language keyboard. For
example, if you were running a French OS X it would be a French
Tricolor. You can have multiple language keyboards and just pick them
to switch between them.
In your larger Input menu icon screen cap, I think that is the icon
from the OS X Mojave or High Sierra. It has the little star in it.
The OS X Catalina input menu icon is the same as Mojave but without the
little star.
I'll try the attachment again.

Yes, boot from a backup. Then install Grand Perspectve or Whatsize to see what's going on.

Re: My unhappy MacBook Pro
Jim R, first Apple does not charge for diagnosis work. Second, they will quote you a flat rate charge for out of warranty work, if they currently stock the part. I think for my early 2008 MBP about 3 years out of warranty, it was somewhere between $350 to $600 flat rate. It is up to you before you release the device to them to determine if the needed part and device are worth it to you for that rate. If they discover another issue, I believe they will also cover that for the one charge at the same time.
No need to exaggerate.

Re: My unhappy MacBook Pro
Jim R, how do your long winded stories about your former possessions advance the story??
When utilities apps can't find the issue, that can simply be explained by a hardware issue. Have you heard of occam's razor? The simplest answer is often the correct one. Sometimes explaining things in a different way, make the answer click in others minds.
As to your MBP restarting, you didn't mentions that in the long, wandering first post. OK, we forget sometimes, but you lose us in your long, unfocused, wandering, posts. Oh and I wander in my posts, sometimes, but usually when the topic is about opinions, like how Apple serves its customers.
Does that answer your question Jim Showalter?

How does that advance any discussion?
I did point out that I once had 3 cases that securely hold a laptop Mac well cushioned and now have only one, but the point of that wasn’t to wail about things that happened two years ago but just to say that I don’t think that the genesis of this repetitive rebooting a few days ago could be blamed on my laptop bag(s).
Your other comment (no, not the one about leeches and poisonous therapy in medicine, but rather the one that says maybe I should just be happy the MacBook Pro has stopped rebooting and go back to using it) is more on point, but of course another (generally considered valuable) voice has suggested that perhaps it’s time to say goodbye to this machine because of its sketchy performance.
I’ll try to keep my own contributions less embellished and more on point.

How to restore from Time Machine?

Howdy. Rick, folks will try to help but it helps them to provide some information. Which model iMac? How much free drive space? How much RAM? What did your Wyfe do to prepare, do maintenance, on her iMac for Catalina? -Delete old cache files? -Boot in Safe Disk Mode? -Boot in Recovery and run First Aid on boot drive?? What is the difficulty in downloading? Can you be specific? Download quits before finishing? Slow??
