Time Machine “Restore” button grayed out

my iMac is running very slow today, and a restart didn’t help, so I would like to restore from a Time Machine backup. I’ve found the backup I would like to use but when I try, the Restore button is grayed out. I’ve looked at earlier backups and the same thing is happening. Is there any way to restore it or are the backups all corrupted?

iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

That was the problem, thank you. I’m not sure why they even show the button in the time machine app if you can’t use it there. Anyway, Restore is now running. Let’s hope it does the trick.
