<p>Based on the screenshot your wallet is not encrypted and does not need a password; HOWEVER since your node is still syncing, note where it says &quot;3 years and 4 weeks behind&quot;, you cannot trust the balance. So wait for it to finish syncing. If you still have a balance after fully synced then your coins are still on that wallet and should be spendable.</p>

I have an aged notebook, and find there is an wallet on it.
[![wallet](https://i.sstatic.net/W7nLM.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/W7nLM.png)

Does this mean that this wallet is unsecured and I can transfer btn from it without passphrase?

Based on the screenshot your wallet is not encrypted and does not need a password; HOWEVER since your node is still syncing, note where it says "3 years and 4 weeks behind", you cannot trust the balance. So wait for it to finish syncing. If you still have a balance after fully synced then your coins are still on that wallet and should be spendable.
