What am I looking at? It's a link to a Windows update from 2016?

Beats me: https://support.microsoft.com/en/kb/3132080

Friends don't let friends use sites like this.

The page consists of ~50% ads, interleaved with the actual content. Most of the links I see are to Audi, some site selling slippers, some "Action RPG game", heating blankets and 20 other random things.

Even if I exclude ads, I see links pointing at executables on this site, for example:

https://content.legacyupdate.net/legacyupdate/LegacyUpdate-1...

Do you want to tell your friend to navigate that page, find the correct link, download it and run it?

Why not? The download link on the site points to to Microsoft's official website.
