I don't have AppleScript Editor app on my iMac, using Mojave 10.14.5. My Script Editor is messed up with a foreign code, not coding with which I am familiar. Stumped am I!
iMac 27", macOS 10.14
It looks like you tried to open the actual Script Editor application inside the app. That will produce the text you are seeing.
Close that and create a new AppleScript.

Script Editor : File menu : New. That will create a new AppleScript document.
The File menu : Open Dictionary… lists those applications that have AppleScript scripting library support (e.g. Finder), and use reserved words to control the application.
When you enter AppleScript syntax, you will either be scolded immediately for transgressions, or after you click the compile button. Sometimes neither, until you run it. In the very bottom panel, click the document icon to expose the Replies area so you can see what your AppleScript is telling you.
You will want to refer to the official AppleScript Language Guide for general AppleScript language issues.
Thank you Barney-15E. I don't know how to create a new AppleScript. All I see is Script Editor. Ignorant am I of such issues. Help!
Do you ever create any new documents in any application?
That is one of the things that made the Mac OS stand out. That type of thing is the same in every application.
File menu, New…
