If you connect it to your Mac and select it in Time Machine Preferences as described in Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support it should give you the option to erase and format as described below:
See the following from Types of disks you can use with Time Machine on Mac - Apple Support
APFS or APFS Encrypted disks are the preferred format for a Time Machine backup disk. If you select a new backup disk that’s not already formatted as an APFS disk, you get the option to erase and reformat it. If the disk is a Mac OS Extended format disk that contains an existing Time Machine backup, you aren’t asked to erase and reformat the disk.
