Question : is there still a possibility to get the phone back into a
functioning state, or has it become landfill material ?

A 10-year old cheap phone isn't of much use but whatever. Oh, do phones
still go in landfill? These parts, they're recycled, sometimes resold
even.

Anyway, as far as the reset goes, a brief search shows Google's find my
device could work but might get complicated too. Recovery mode seems
like the more likely option since you have physical access.
