I read your question and I understand your concern.

That calcification could be a result of several things, but most probably the remnant of an old infection.
It could have been a predisposing factor for the seizures that you have had in the past, hopefully you won't have anymore but it still is a risk factor for seizures.
However regarding the present symptoms of headache and weakness it is not responsible for them. It is an incidental finding which has been there for many years, there is no sign that it is active anymore, so no reason to cause those symptoms now, other causes should be considered.

I hope to have been of help.
