There’s probably plenty of maintenance to be done if it’s old. Bearings get worn out or at least need to be cleaned and greased. Chains stretch and cassettes wear. Brakes fall out of adjustment and pads wear out. I don’t know about you but I find riding a cared for and silent bike to be such a joy. I honestly can’t fathom how people manage to ride squeaky rattly inefficient bikes everywhere.
So fix it up! A well maintained silent bike is such a joy to ride.
There’s not much to fix, it’s just an old Dutch bike.
