It looks like your old Library is damaged in some way.


Go to that older Library and right-click on it and select Show Package Contents.


Look for a large folder there, it may be called "Originals" or "Masters." That folder has the actual image files.


Try importing everything in that folder into your current Photos Library. Even if the old Library is damaged or corrupted, as long as you can see the folder with the actual image files, you can import those image files into your new Library.
