The problem is resolved.

Solution: it’s still a little unclear, but I believe that replacing the wordpress files as per govpatel worked. Either that, or the mere fact that I had debug mode on was causing problems. Or both.

Thank you to all who have helped!

I’ll try to split this up for readability.

-Activate plugin:Most Commented Widget (Customized edit)
-No errors.
-Deactivate plugin:Most Commented Widget (Customized edit)

(oops. Apparently it’s not all widgets. Sorry. I thought it was because I have tried multiple calendar widgets, and they all fail.)

-Activate plugin:Grunion Contact Form
-No errors.
-Deactivate plugin:Grunion Contact Form

-Activate plugin:Event Calendar 3 for PHP 5.3
-Activates, but error at top of page while viewing plugins panel:

And above the plugins, wordpress reports:
The plugin generated 1171 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

Thank you for your time.

Step-by-step:
-Deactivated all plugins on the main site.
-Installed Plugin:My-Calendar (I had deleted it while trying multiple plugins)
-I notice that on the dashboard for the main page, it says that I am using “2 Widgets”. All widgets are deactivated. I confirmed this by checking the Appearance > Widgets panel.
-Activate plugin:My-Calendar on main site. In the admin panel, the following is displayed at the top of every page. There are also single notices about line 251 (as below) in various other places in the admin panel. Ask if you would like a list.

Notice: Undefined index: page in /home/content/98/7276698/html/wp-content/plugins/my-calendar/my-calendar.php on line 251

I found what I was looking for in the WPMU function get_blog_permalink.

I’m concerned about how long this function will exist, though, because the documentation for WPMU functions (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/WPMU_Functions), as well as a few WPMU functions themselves, is now obsolete with no apparent replacement.

I appreciate your trying to help, but I don’t understand. There are a couple lines which kind of fit that description:

wp-config.php

//Multisites install
...
$base = '/';
...
/* Stop editing */
...
$base = DB_NAME;

I’m guessing you mean by “extra” that the second $base = should be removed. Is that it?
