What would make a car drag before starting, sounds like battery is about dead but finally starts?

My grandmother has an older model mercury sable. The car drags 5-6 revolutions before finally starting. It has been doing this for couple of weeks, so don’t think its the alternator or battery. Belt squeaks, especially at idle, bad bearing in one of the pulleys or what?
Belt is tight
