Welcome to iMore!

With it stuck on the diagnostics page and a broken power button, you may have to take your phone in to an authorized Apple store and have them help you at the Genius Bar. Hopefully someone else can post and offer a better solution.

since it's out of warranty they will just try to upsell you a new iPhone

They'll tell you that in order for them to fix the software they'll need to fix the button which costs ?150 or something. Which is more than the phone is worth. So its better to just buy a new iphone.
