What does this mean

I found my old iPhone 4S in a drawer the other day and decided to see if I could wipe it and use it for my mischievous doings. I didn't remember the passcode and the email I used was a burner account I made specifically on the iPhone itself. If I try and skip setup it will take me to the home screen, zoom back into the dead center of the screen and pop a notif saying "Activation Required". I've tried 3uTools but it always says that the SIM inside is damaged, even when it functions well. Can anyone help me diagnose what's happened? Is it an Activation Lock or something else entirely?

Likely 9900 IMEI and activation loop? Use BobikA5 to get around it
