I’ve had this iPad since around 2015 but haven’t used it in about a year. I turned it on today and it’s acting like a new iPad saying I need to activate it. But when I go to power it off my lockscreen faintly shows up. I’d love if you could help, thanks.

i can’t, it says to connect to wifi, so I do and then it shows me this and even if I retry it it doesn’t work

So... Activate it? Your lock screen could simply be burned into the display.
Connect your iPad to iTunes, as is being requested. More details on this are in the articles linked previously.
