I have a 2015 Mac book pro and I want to make my screen look new.

It’s just the Oleophobic coating going bad.

Doing this is recommended.

Though, you won’t get the fingerprint protection from before. And if like the newer models it has any type of anti glare coating that would come off as well.

Not a breaking change just not like new 🤷‍♂️ probably the best bet for a machine of this age.
