No, the crew never declared an emergency of any kind. They only used de euphemistic non standard term "priority". Even more, when they ran out of fuel, instead of telling ATC that they had no fuel, they said that they had a "complete electric failure... and fuel". Clearly, they were, even in that critical moment, reluctant to admit that their tanks were empty.
