TestDisk seems unresponsive after hitting Proceed

I have a very old IDE drive. I was able to access it through a generic converter off Amazon, worked for the first two times, but it wouldn't get detected anymore, and my laptop crashed every time I connected it.
I jus bought a Ugreen converter and my laptop works fine when the drive is plugged, but it still doesn't show up. Thankfully, it did show up on Testdisk, but when I hit Proceed, nothing happens, and it's unresponsive to any other action (tried the same thing with another drive and it worked just fine).
Am I supposed to wait longer? What could be the reason for this?
I'm worried the drive is getting even more damaged the longer I leave it connected as it gets louder.
