Purchase this form Apple:

If you purchased this from a retailer, it appears this is a returned item. So, return it yourself to the retailer. They never disassociated it from the original purchaser's account. They should have known better. So, from there, return this and then purchase one from Apple.

No

The original owner would have to remove the pairing from their device.

You would have to reset the Airpods after that.

I'm guessing you don't have access to the original owner.
