My brother who hasn’t turned on his PS3 or used PSN in over 10 years decided to boot up his ps3 to play something that is currently DOWNLOADED on the console.

Licenses are expired and his PSN account is deleted. So games are gone forever

WOOOOO!!!!!

If the PSN account is really gone, better check with another device (PS App on a smartphone, via PC browser or on an PS4 or PS5 of a friend).

They changed the password access on PS3 and Vita a few years ago to protect the accounts better: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/account/ps3-ps-vita-device-setup-password/ 

Also correcting the date and time of the PS3 could help, the battery holding that information was obviously empty after that many years (like the screen in the video says).
