Years ago I had an '85 900 base model: 8-valve engine, no turbo, 5-speed manual transmission. In this form the 900 certainly is no ball of fire, but it's fine for normal driving. At times I had mine over 90 mph. At normal freeway speeds the car would normally hold its own on hills with some judicious downshifting. An automatic would be worse of course but neither should be as bad as you describe if the car is running properly.
There could well be a clogged exhaust, but I would first try the usual suspects before putting money there -- check compression, spark plugs, air filter, ignition timing, fuel filter, etc.
