It is impossible to find your lost iPhone SE because you stated that-

  1. The battery is dead.
  2. Find My is not setup on that iPhone.

Point 1 - Dead Battery - is the one that absolutely stops you from finding your iPhone SE through Find My. Your iPhone has to not only be powered but also be able to connect to the internet (WiFi or Cellular) and broadcast its location. This is not possible with a dead battery. You will therefore need to find your iPhone SE by physical old fashioned means.
