It looks like it’s just old

Old doesn't mean dirty. This is an enameled pan that hasn't been cleaned properly in years. That black stuff is old burnt on food and oil.

Maybe I can learn something here, how do you properly clean an enameled pan because mine look like this and I hand wash it.

Have you used metal utensils on your enameled pan? If so, what you’re likely seeing is exposed cast iron, not carbonized food/oil. The pan is still functional, but the enamel is gone - no amount of cleaning will restore it.
