There were different rules in 1985 than in 2008+, so some of the things might be ok 'grandfathered in' in your situation. (It would be good for piece of mind, if not the pocketbook, to get everything set up proper - water pipes bonded, main breaker, etc.....).
You have some grounding/bonding issues that don't seem to be safe, and that at least should be fixed.
Typically things are bonded out at the meter at the main switch now, and 4 wires are run to each building - your one building, in this case. There the ground & the neutral should _not_ be bonded.
