The last wallet file is from 2019. What I noticed is that there doesn't seem to be a database folder on the main folder,
It depends on the version that was last in use. Newer versions would ensure that all the data from the log files ended up in the wallet.dat file, then delete the database folder, on shutdown. This would also happen periodically during operation. However, older versions and unclean shutdowns would still have the database folder.
